The Professional Fighters League returns for a third straight week in continuation of the 2024 season. This Friday, the PFL card will feature matchups from the featherweight and welterweight divisions.
All fighters weighed in successfully except for Laureano Staropoli. He came in over four pounds above the limit for his welterweight bout against Murad Ramazanov. It's unclear if the fight will go on as planned.
In the main event, Andrey Koreshkov will make his PFL season debut against Magomed Umalatov in a welterweight bout. Koreshkov decided to jump from Bellator to PFL, hoping to become the next welterweight champion and receive a million dollars. He comes into the fight on a five-fight win streak, including a notable victory over Lorenz Larkin at Bellator MMA vs. RIZIN 2: McKee vs. Pitbull last year . However, he faces his most formidable challenge to date, as Umalatov is undefeated with 14 wins and has only fought to a decision twice in his career.
Elsewhere on the card, featherweights Brendan Loughnane and Pedro Carvalho will clash in the co-main event. Both fighters hope to rebound from their respective losses last time out and take the lead in the PFL featherweight standings. For Carvalho, he looks to have a career resurgence after more than five years with Bellator. A win over the 2022 PFL featherweight champion may give him added confidence and momentum to succeed this season.
2024 PFL 3: Andrey Koreshkov vs. Magomed Umalatov will occur at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The preliminary card and main card are going to stream live on ESPN+ . PFL 3's main card will also air live on ESPN.
