Meet MMA star aiming to win $1million and become Ireland’s first PFL champion

Will Fluery recognises his chance to win PFL’s illustrious $1million prize is the last big opportunity of his fighting career.

Fluery, 34, fights UFC veteran Krzysztof Jotko on Saturday night in the opening round of the PFL 2023 regular season. The Irishman has competed for promotions such as Bellator, Brave CF and EFC since turning professional seven years ago, putting together a solid record of 11-3. Fluery earned himself a spot on the PFL light-heavyweight roster by winning a hard-fought decision agains Anthony Salamone in Cardiff last August.

Having already won a world title for UAE Warriors, a MMA promotion based in the Middle East, Fluery looks to become the first Irish fighter to wrap a PFL belt around his waist. Brendan Loughnane achieved the feat for the UK last year and the Mancunian’s success has inspired Fluery to be a flag bearer for the PFL in Ireland.
