PFL Finalizes 10-Fight San Diego Card Headlined by A.J. McKee vs. Salamat Isbulaev

The completed lineup launches PFL’s heavy summer schedule, positioning the headliners as important steps toward divisional title contention.

Overview

  • PFL announced a completed 10-fight card for June 27 at Pechanga Arena in San Diego that is headlined by former Bellator champion A.J. McKee against unbeaten Salamat Isbulaev.
  • The co-main features 2025 PFL tournament champion Liz Carmouche against Viviane Araújo in a flyweight bout framed as a meaningful move along the 125-pound title path.
  • The promotion added four preliminary fights to the undercard: Justin Wetzell vs. Sarvarjon Khamidov, Gamid Khizriev vs. Lorenzo Parente, Shannon Clark vs. Ilara Joanne, and Cobey Fehr vs. Daniel Bzdigian.
  • PFL confirmed the main card will air on ESPN2 at 10 p.m. ET, but outlets report conflicting platforms for the prelims with Sherdog citing the ESPN app and Yahoo Sports/MMA Junkie citing ESPN+, a detail that remains unresolved.
  • The San Diego stop is PFL’s first event in the city and serves as the opening leg of a concentrated summer run, a schedule that could accelerate contender movement and raise local interest through partnerships that highlight military and first‑responder communities.
