PFL Europe has confirmed details for the third installment of the 2024 season as the promotion heads to Glasgow, Scotland, for the first time.
The official announcement states that elite MMA hasn't been featured in this location for seven years, but all of that changes at the OVO Hydro on September 28.
Two Scottish fighters have also been announced for the top two spots on the card. In the main event, former PFL finalist Stevie Ray comes out of retirement to take on Wales' Lewis Long.
"Braveheart" retired in June of last year after back-to-back defeats to Natan Schulte and Clay Collard eliminated him from the regular season.
Long, meanwhile, is an experienced competitor with 26 fights on his pro record, having competed under the banners of both Bellator and Cage Warriors in the past. He last fought in May of 2022, suffering a decision loss to Thibault Gouti at Bellator 280.
Scotland's Robert Whiteford takes the co-main event slot having also not fought since May of 2022 when he competed at Bellator 281.
He will be taking on the returning Roger Huerta, who has been out of competition since 2021 following a losing streak to some of the top names in Bellator. The 38-fight veteran last won a fight in 2017 and has faced some of the top names in his weight class in the UFC, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
PFL Europe returns this Saturday in Newcastle, England, for the second stop on the way to the finals later this year in December.
