Kayla Harrison will continue her quest to repeat as the PFL lightweight season champion on August 19 when she faces Genah Fabian.
Despite being the reigning champion and not facing any true adversity in her MMA career yet, Harrison is listed as the #2 seed in this tournament due to Larissa Pacheco having the same amount of first-round finishes (two) but with a shorter cage time this season.
Other semifinal bouts on the main card for this lineup is a heavyweight bout between Bruno Cappelozza and Jamelle Jones, #1-seeded Larissa Pacheco facing Taylor Guarado at women’s lightweight, and another heavyweight semifinal between Denis Goltsov and Ante Delija.
The card for the first 2021 PFL Playoff card has also been released recently, and that card will be headlined by Rory MacDonald facing Ray Cooper III. That card will feature welterweights and men’s lightweights.
Both cards will take place from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The first playoff card will take place on August 13, and the second card will be six days later on August 19. You can find the lineups for both cards below.
