Chicago – For PFL featherweight Adam Borics his victory over Enrique Barzola at PFL 3: PFL Regular Season 2024 on Friday night wasn’t just about getting points on the board.
“That was my comeback fight. I had ACL surgery right after the (Patricio) Pitbull fight,” Borics told Cageside Press at his post-fight scrum.
“Most of the people they don’t know I fought without ACL against Pitbull.”
Borics (19-2) ended up having to wait 18 months for another chance to fight in the cage.
“I couldn’t wait to get back in the cage and perform. It wasn’t my best performance, but I fought hard. Enrique is a really tough guy. The cage was so slippery I couldn’t kick, but I am happy I am back. Excited about my new chapter in my career. It’s the second part of my career,” Borics said.
Borics is one of the many fighters that made the move to PFL following the merger with Bellator in 2023. He’s fought for the Bellator featherweight title before and now enters a different kind of tournament with $1 million prize attached to it.
“I’m really thankful for PFL. I had a long layoff so I want to be active and this tournament is perfect for me,” he said.
“I’m excited about this new chapter.”
