The Professional Fighters League has announced the full card for the final regular season event of its European circuit.
PFL Europe Newcastle will take place on June 8 at Utilita Arena
in Newcastle, England, and is headlined by the MMA debut of boxing
champion Savannah Marshall, as she takes on Mirela
Vargas in a showcase bout at 155 pounds. Additionally, the card
will feature regular season bouts at menâs bantamweight and womenâs
flyweight, with winnerâs advancing to the PFL Europe
postseason.
The bantamweight season pairings include: Dean Garnett vs. Ayton De Paepe; Frans Mlambo vs. Luke Shanks; Khurshed Kakhorov vs. Bondo Kikadze and Alexander Luster vs. Alperen Karabulut.
Meanwhile, the womenâs flyweight regular season bouts are as follows: Shanelle Dyer vs. Mariam Torchinava; Lizzy Gevers vs. Sammy Jo Luxton; Valentina Scatizzi vs. Marie Loiseau and Dee Begley vs. Paulina Wisniewska.
Additionally, PFL Europe Newcastle will also include a welterweight regular season clash between Jack Grant and Charlie Leary due to a fight cancellation at the previous event in Paris.
PFL Europe Newcastle also features a number of showcase bouts, including a lightweight clash pitting Kane Mousah against Dylan Tuke in the co-main event. Other showcase matchups include: Ibragim Ibragimov vs. Josh Reed at featherweight; Mark Ewen vs. Mathias Poiron at lightweight and Ben Woolliss vs. Maher Belkhadir at featherweight.
âWe canât wait to come back to Newcastle on June 8, where PFL Europe officially launched in 2023. Our bantamweight and womenâs flyweight rosters are packed with quality and represent the best that the elite European MMA scene has to offer, and with the regular Season format all of these fighters know whatâs at the end of the line: the European title, $100,000 and a pathway to our global season,â said Dan Hardy, head of fighter operations for PFL Europe.
âBut it wouldnât be a PFL Europe event without a stacked evening of showcase bouts, and we have a great selection of future stars, simmering tensions and a local hero in Savannah Marshall making her MMA debut.â
