Jarrah Al-Silawi and Chris Mixan earned PFL contracts during PFL Challenger Series 2.
The event aired live from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida on Fubo Sports Network.
Al-Silawi and Mixan followed Bruce Souto, who scored a developmental contract during the first episode. The fighters competed in front of Ray Lewis, Tyron Woodley and Jeremy Piven.
In the evening’s main event, Al-Silawi squared off with Michael Lilly, with the former Brave welterweight champion making an electrifying PFL debut with a 1st round TKO. The Jordanian Lion registered his seventh career knockout, and improved his pro record to 17-3-0. Al-Silawi will look to continue his momentum into the PFL Regular Season in the highly competitive Welterweight division.
Mixan and Nathan Pierce kicked off the second week of the PFL Challenger Series inside the SmartCage. Mixan showcased an impressive striking performance, ultimately defeating Pierce via 2nd round TKO. The result improves the Ukranian’s undefeated record to 3-0 with all wins coming by finish.
“The Professional Fighters League returned in thrilling fashion tonight after a successful PFL Challenger Series premiere last week,” said Peter Murray, PFL CEO. “The action was fast and furious with the welterweight fighters looking to earn a PFL contract. The PFL Challenger Series represents the best of what we are: a true meritocracy. Jarrah and Chris, welcome to the PFL.”
