The bout is expected to accelerate the winner's path to the vacant featherweight title.

Overview

  • PFL Madrid takes place Friday, March 20 at Palacio Vistalegre and streams on ESPN+ in the promotion’s first major event in Spain.
  • A.J. McKee re-signed with PFL and described the league as his home, saying he prioritizes seven-figure pay and will not take a UFC pay cut.
  • Adam Borics has suggested this may be his final year at 145 pounds and is considering a move to lightweight due to the weight cut and added muscle.
  • Event coverage indicates the McKee–Borics winner will be fast-tracked toward a shot at the currently vacant PFL featherweight championship.
