PFL 4 is here! Tonight, Universal Orlando’s Stage 19 serves as the venue for the fourth and final quarterfinal event in this year’s PFL World Tournament. After the close of business this evening, the PFL World Tournament resumes over a three-week period in June for the semifinal phase.
Action on this Thursday in the tournament takes place at light heavyweight and heavyweight. Coverage of PFL 4 begins tonight at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT with the countdown show on the official PFL YouTube channel.
The fights themselves follow a half-hour later at 7:30 pm ET/ 4:30 pm PT for the early card. Inside the United States of America, you can see tonight’s activities gavel-to-gavel on ESPN+. If you’re watching from Canada, access DAZN for the fights.
Late card action caps the quarterfinals at 10 pm ET/ 7 pm PT. After a successful weigh-in window yesterday morning, eight of the scheduled nine fights are locked in for tonight.
The planned tournament alternate contest at light heavyweight between Alex Polizzi and Rafael Xavier was postponed on Thursday night before the show after the former was elevated to the tournament proper to fight Sullivan Cauley in a restructured bout upon Marcelo Nunes withdrawing from the show.
