The Professional Fighters League will begin the 2024 season with an enhanced roster thanks to the acquisition of Bellator and its stars. All events lead to the PFL Championship Finals, where fighters compete for $1 million. First, the PFL’s regular season begins on April 4.

Heavyweights and women’s flyweights start things off. PFL 1 airs on ESPN+ in the U.S. and DAZN in the U.K. Fighters from the PFL and Bellator will compete against one another.

The main event will be Valentin Moldavsky vs. Ante Delija in heavyweight action. A three-time Sambo gold medalist, Moldavsky turned pro in 2015. Joining Bellator in 2017, the Russian is a former interim Bellator heavyweight champion. He is 1-1 in his last two fights, his last contest being a decision win in August against Steve Mowry. 

Delija turned pro in 2011. He joined the PFL in 2019 and won the 2022 PFL heavyweight tournament against Matheus Scheffel.
