The PFL takes an early summer residency in Long Island for the first three events of its second season.
The promotion on Thursday announced main cards for PFL 1, PFL 2 and PFL 3, which respectively take place May 9, May 23 and June 6 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y.
The fight cards alternate between ESPN+ and ESPN2. PFL 1’s prelims stream before heading over to ESPN2, and PFL 2 and PFL 3 kick off on ESPN2 before main card action on ESPN+.
Among the notable names queued up for the first three shows is Season 1 welterweight champion Magomed Magomedkerimov (23-5), who takes on UFC veteran John Howard (27-14-1) at PFL 1. Women’s lightweight star Kayla Harrison (3-0) also returns against Svetlana Khautova (2-0).
Louis Taylor (18-4-1), who won the inaugural middleweight tournament, drops to welterweight to face Chris Curtis (20-5) at PFL 2. Also scheduled for the May 23 event is featherweight tournament winner Lance Palmer (17-3), who returns opposite Alex Gilpin (12-1). Lightweight winner Natan Schulte (15-3-1) faces off against Bao Yincang (12-6-1).
