Overview
- The PFL booked former Bellator champion Sergio Pettis against undefeated prospect Mitch McKee for April 11 at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena.
- CEO John Martin said the winner will move directly into bantamweight title contention under the new rankings format, where Pettis is No. 1 and McKee is unranked.

- McKee (10-0), 28, makes his PFL debut after building his record primarily in LFA with six knockouts and a one-off Bellator bout in 2022.
- The co-main event features a middleweight matchup between Josh Silveira (15-5) and Jordan Newman (8-0).
