How to Watch PFL 9

Semifinals in the lightweight and welterweight divisions will buoy the latest leg of the Professional Fighters League postseason, as the company moves forward with PFL 9 on Wednesday inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. Lightweight action heroes Clay Collard and Shane Burgos are booked for duty in the headliner, with the winner advancing to compete for $1,000,000 at 155 pounds in November.

PFL 9 “Collard vs. Burgos”—which airs live on ESPN and streams to ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT—also features the second lightweight semifinal slotting Olivier Aubin-Mercier opposite Bruno Miranda, an amateur lightweight appetizer pitting Biaggio Ali Walsh against Ed Davis and the two welterweight semifinals, as Carlos Leal Miranda faces Sadibou Sy and Magomed Magomedkerimov meets Solomon Renfro. The undercard streams to ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT, a featherweight affair between Alexei Pergande and Shawn Stefanelli anchoring the preliminary festivities.
