THE Professional Fighters League have announced the first full card of their European tournament.
PFL’s four-event extravaganza will see eight MMA hopefuls in four different weight classes compete over ten months.
In the PFL’s global season, contenders have two qualifying bouts, with points earned per method of victory.
The top four in each weight then progress to the knockout stages, setting up a grand finale where $1m (£820,000) and a championship belt awaits.
PFL Europe will follow a similar format, instead offering $100,000 (£82,000) a title and the chance to enter PFL’s regular $1m-winning league.
The Euro season kicks off on Saturday, March 25 in Newcastle with the men’s light-heavyweights and women’s flyweights in action.
Simeon Powell, 24, who has two wins in the PFL SmartCage, headlines against Dutchman Mohamed Amine, 26, who has only one loss in six.
Former Muay Thai champion Dakota Ditcheva, 24, also headlines against France’s Clara Ricignuolo, who is 3-3.
There are five more bouts on the main-card, with an additional three on the prelims, live on DAZN.
Next in action will be the men’s bantamweights and lightweights on Saturday, July 8 in Berlin.
PFL’s newest signing, ex-bantamweight Cage Warriors champion, Dominique Dooding, 26, makes his return.
All qualifiers then head into the semi-final knockout stage on Saturday, September 30 in Paris.
The finale fight falls on Friday, December 8 in Dublin where PFL Europe belts and the $100,000 cash prize are at stake.
