The PFL is back in Belfast. Paul Hughes is now. And in the Northern Ireland star’s absence, it’s undefeated prospect Darragh Kelly, 9-0 to date, stepping up to take his place against Bellator vet Jay Jay Wilson.
Alongside Kelly vs. Wilson on Thursday’s card, a handful of notable names including Rhys McKee in the co-main event, and Tyson Pedro. Pedro, fighting Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, competes for the first time since March of 2024, at the end of his UFC stint, after which he retired. That retirement ends Thursday.
