The card’s main and co-main event will be for the PFL’s heavyweight and women’s featherweight Super Fights titles, and per press release the card will also feature another title bout when Bellator Middleweight Champion Johnny Eblen meets Fabian Edwards in a championship rematch.

Unbeaten in his professional career, Eblen successfully defended his Bellator title for the second time when he stopped Edwards with strikes at Bellator 299 before he went on to earn a split decision against Impa Kasanganay at the first PFL vs. Bellator event earlier this year.

Edwards rebounded from his loss to Eblen by taking a unanimous decision over Aaron Jeffery in March, and after the pair were previously scheduled to rematch at Bellator Champions Series: London the 31-year-old will get his second crack at Bellator gold on October 19.
