In addition to the two, other names of relevance in the fighting world are confirmed, among them ex-judoka and two-time US Olympic champion Kayla Harrison, Brazilian Cesar Mutante, Antonio Carlos ‘Cara de Sapato’.

Played in a different format than the UFC, the PFL has a regular season and playoffs to define the champion in each of the six seasons. The first event of the 2021 season takes place on April 23, in New Jersey, in the United States, for the wings category in the presence of Brazilian Natan Schulte, a two-time lightweight champion, and Shamon Mores.
