The final Card of the Year for the Professional Fighters League regular season has been officially decided.
The PFL 6: 2024 regular season featuring featherweight and welterweight divisions has been officially announced, according to a release from the tournament-based league on Friday. Twelve bouts are scheduled, including one alternate bout at 170 pounds and a qualifying start for the non-tournament “Featherweight Showcase.” Of the six weight classes currently running in the PFL’s main Grand Prix, the 145-pound weight class is the only one where the winner with points from all five matches faces the opponent he lost to earlier in the season.
The June 28 fight card at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota will feature a featherweight showdown between Brendan Locknane (27-5) and Justin Gonzalez (14-4). Loughnane, the winner of the 2022 season, defeated Pedro Carvalho in under 90 seconds in April to take six points and become the current top seed. Gonzalez suffered a first-round stoppage loss to Gabriel Braga, and “J-Train” is currently on a three-fight losing streak.
The featured welterweight bout will take place between Logan Storey (15-3) and Laureano Staropoli (13-6), two men who lost in April. Former interim Bellator MMA belt holder Story has lost two of three fights since competing for the unified strap in early 2023. Although his story wasn’t as good as Yaroslav Amosov’s, Musaev bounced back a few months later by punching out Brennan Ward, losing to Shamil and joining the PFL. His fight against Staropol ended in April when he was choked with a rear naked choke by Murad Ramazanov, ending his winning streak at four points.
