PFL 3 is almost here. On a UFC-free weekend, the SmartCage is your only option for major MMA action inside the United States as the Easter holiday looms. Friday night, Universal Orlando‘s Stage 19 serves as the host venue for the third card in the ongoing quarterfinal phase of the PFL World Tournament.
There will be a bye week in the brackets next week due to United States rightsholder ESPN airing the 2025 NFL Draft from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. PFL 4 will be held on May 1 from Orlando.
Thursday morning, the official weigh-in window for PFL 3 took place in Orlando ahead of the ceremonial face-offs happening later on in the evening. This week, lightweights and middleweights will make the walk in Orlando, hoping to take that first step toward this season’s championship.
Live coverage of tomorrow’s show begins in the late afternoon on the East Coast at 5 pm ET/ 2 pm PT on ESPN+ with the early card before shifting to the late card at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT on ESPN proper in addition to ESPN+. If you’re going to be tuning in from Canada, DAZN will carry the show from start to finish tomorrow afternoon and evening.
Main Event Good To Go Following PFL 3 Weigh-In
Unlike the last two weeks, this morning’s official weigh-in period was a perfunctory day on the scales. Tomorrow night’s main event of the evening is confirmed to be going ahead as scheduled after both Impa Kasanganay (18-5 MMA) and Fabian Edwards (13-4 MMA) weighed-in within the 186-lb nontitle maximum for middleweights at 185.6 lbs.
All fights tomorrow will be an advertised maximum of three rounds at five minutes per round.
Co-Main Event Also Locked In
The PFL 3 co-main event will proceed after a routine weigh-in period for both Gadzhi Rabadanov (24-4-2 MMA) and Marc Diakiese (18-7 MMA). The former clocked in at 156 lbs even, while the latter showed up at 155.2 lbs.
