In conjunction with a partnership with Live Nation, the promotion announced Tuesday that back-to-back postseason events — Aug. 13 at Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales, and Aug. 20 at Copperbox Arena in London — will be held in the United Kingdom.
“We’re delighted to partner with the Professional Fighters League to deliver their first U.K. events this Summer,” said Live Nation U.K. vice president of sport & family entertainment Sean Ryman. “The PFL is a global brand in combat sports with an elite roster of athletes, the U.K. is excited and ready for this and it’s long overdue.”
