Women's featherweight

Pacheco upset Kayla Harrison this past October and handed the two-time Olympic gold medalist the first loss of her career. Budd signed with the PFL in 2021 and won her promotional debut, but dropped both her fights in the 2022 season. In addition, Aspen Ladd (10-3) will make her PFL debut against Olena Kolesnyk (7-5).
Heavyweight
The co-main event also features a past season winner at heavyweight. Bruno Cappelozza (15-6), who won the 2021 season, will take on Matheus Scheffel (17-9), who beat him in the 2022 regular season. Scheffel went on to the 2022 final, but lost to Ante Delija.
