Ex-UFC heavyweight Juan Adams announces signing with PFL as alternate

It might be a long shot but if things break his way, Juan Adams could be a millionaire before the end of the year.

Adams, a former UFC fighter, announced on Wednesday that he’s signed with the PFL as a heavyweight alternate. He’ll need someone to withdraw in order to fight and have a chance at earning points for a playoff spot where he could compete for the $1 million grand prize.

“Just signed to contract for (PFL),” Adams wrote on Facebook. “I will be an alternate meaning that if anyone can’t fight for whatever reason, I get my shot. I weigh in June 23 either way in Atlanta.”
