PFL Chicago is the final event of the first leg of the PFL regular season, which features featherweights and welterweights as the headlining attractions. The main event pits Magomed Umalatov (14-0) against Andrey Koreshkov (27-14) in a welterweight contest, which, pending point totals, should create eventual chaos in the standings moving forward.

Other fights on the card include two compelling main card bouts that will see Brendan Loughnane (27-5) take on Conor McGregor protégée, Pedro Carvalho (13-8), along with the return of Logan Storely (15-2) against Shamil Musaev, who is unbeaten in 17 professional fights.

The undercard looks to be captivating as well, which includes Brennan Ward's PFL debut, as he takes on Don Madge in a welterweight bout.
