Former Bellator welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov (27-4) makes his PFL debut on a five-bout winning streak as he faces undefeated Magomed Umalatov (14-0). During his current five-fight winning streak Koreshkov has only had two fights go the distance winning two of his last three via knockout.
Umalatov went 2-0 in the PFL in 2023 but had to withdraw from a scheduled bout with eventual welterweight champion Magomed Magomedkerimov for still unknown reasons and was denied a title shot in 2022 due to visa issues.
Also on the card featherweight Bubba Jenkins (22-7) will face Kai Kamaka III (12-5) while Gabriel Alves Braga (12-1) returns off his first professional loss taking on Justin Gonzalez (14-3) who has lost two fights in a row.
