PFL kicks off its second season on Thursday, with “PFL 2019: Week 1” at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y.
In the night’s main event, women’s lightweight contender Kayla Harrison (3-0) takes on two-time UFC veteran and “The Ultimate Fighter 28” cast member Larissa Pacheco (11-2). It’s a late switch of opponents for Harrison, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo, who was originally expected to face a less-experienced Svetlana Khautova (2-0).
Could the late switch cause complications for Harrison? Or is the seemingly surefire prospect good enough to avoid any potential traps caused by the switch? Watch the video above to hear the MMA Junkie Radio crew’s breakdown and predictions.
The “PFL 2019: Week 1” main card airs on ESPN2 following prelims on ESPN+.
