PFL star Stevie Ray is desperate to win the promotion's illustrious $1million prize so he can pay for his daughter Myla's brain surgery.
Ray, 33, makes his second run at the PFL lightweight title this year having lost out to Olivier Aubin-Mercier in last year's final. The Scot was planning to use a large portion of his seven-figure payday for his daughter's surgery, but his dream of becoming a millionaire was crushed when Aubin-Mercier knocked him out in the second round of their fight.
Unsure if 2023 could mark his last year competing in the cage, Ray is making one last run at the PFL world title and his daughter's life-threatening condition is extra motivation for his upcoming fights. Ray's daughter Myla, who turns eight next month, first suffered from a seizure in 2019 and was diagnosed with epilepsy the following year. Myla's health recently took a turn for the worst and doctors have told Ray's family that she will need brain surgery to cure her condition.
