The 2024 PFL 3 (ESPN/ESPN+) was held Friday at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena for the first time in the regular season between welterweight and featherweight.
In the main event, former Bellator welterweight champion Andrei Koreshkov (27-5), who has moved to the PFL, faced undefeated Magomed Umalatov (15-0). In the featherweight division, Brendan Loughnane (28 wins, 5 losses), the 2022 $1 million winner, missed the 2023 playoffs, but is in good form against Bellator transfer Pedro Carvalho (13 wins, 9 losses). I got off to a good start.
