The Professional Fighters League, the fastest growing and most innovative sports league in the world, keeps the momentum going tonight, with Week 2 of the 2022 PFL Challenger Series. Mixed martial artists from around the world will compete for a chance at a life-changing contract with the PFL. Week 2 will feature fighters from the welterweight division.

The 2022 PFL Challenger Series emanates from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Beginning this week, Challenger Series will only be available to fuboTV subscribers on Fubo Sports Network. Watch LIVE on fuboTV starting at 9PM ET.


Headlining tonight’s four-fight card will be former two-division Brave CF champion Jarrah “The Jordanian Lion” Al Silawi of Jordan taking on American Michael Lilly, who has won four of his last five fights. One of the earliest stars of Middle East-based Brave CF, Al Silawi went on to capture the promotion’s welterweight championship twice, as well the super welterweight championship once. Standing opposite Al Silawi will be Lilly, who has won three of seven career wins by stoppage, and would like to follow his brother Lee Henry’s footsteps and compete in the million-dollar PFL tournament.


In the co-main event, former Titan FC champion Dilano “The Postman” Taylor of Jamaica meets the surging Mark “Showtime” Martin of the United States. Riding a six-fight winning streak, Taylor is undefeated under the Titan FC banner, including a successful win and defense of the promotion’s welterweight championship. Looking to continue his winning streak at Taylor’s expense will be Martin, who hasn’t lost a fight since 2018. Martin is undefeated in three appearances in the LFA, and has won three of his seven career wins by stoppage.


Also on the card, an exciting clash of champions ensues, as LFA Welterweight Champion Carlos “The Lion” Leal of Brazil meets former Total Warrior Combat Middleweight Champion Korey Kuppe. Leal is riding an eight-fight winning streak, which includes the LFA Welterweight Tournament Championship. Kuppe, who’s stepping in as a last-minute replacement for Socrates Pierre, has won three of his last four bouts, which includes a title run in Total Warrior Combat. Eight of his nine career wins have come by submission.


Opening the action on tonight’s card is a battle between the undefeated Chris Mixan of Ukraine and Nathan “TwoBills” Pierce of the United States. Mixan has won both of his professional bouts so far, both by stoppage. Pierce on the other hand, is coming off back-to-back wins, with two of his three career wins coming by finish.
