PFL 9 2019 is official, with all fighters making weight for Thursday’s card, which will feature heavyweight and light heavyweight quarterfinal and semifinal action.
The Professional Fighters League was set to return for Halloween, with the third and final playoff event of the season, PFL 9 2019. There were no scares on the scales Thursday, however. With heavyweights and light heavyweights making up the card, all fighters made weight for the event.
Among the match-ups in the quarterfinal round, Alex Nicholson was set to rematch Francimar Barroso at heavyweight. The pair had originally met at PFL 3 2019, part of the regular reason. That time out, Barroso earned a unanimous decision win. Nicholson, however, had been pining for a rematch ever since.
Also in action, light heavyweight Vinny Magalhaes, a finalist last year who came up short against Sean O’Connell. He’ll be looking to earn his way into the million dollar finals once again, against Rashid Yusupov in the quarterfinals.
Winning fighters, of course, will be fighting twice in a night on Halloween.
