Jesus Pinedo is back in action following his shock win over one of the reigning champions, Brendan Loughnane, in the PFL playoffs on Friday.

That victory took Pinedo's record this season to one victory and one defeat, and he is headlining a semifinal bout this time around.

Bubba Jenkins, who has a perfect record from two fights during the current series, is the featherweight rival standing in Pinedo's way.

Here's all you need to know about the event, including time, channel, card, and more.
