PFL hit the jackpot with these 3 regular season match-ups

3. Brendan Loughnane vs. Pedro Carvalho

The third and final of the three cards announced for the PFL Regular Season takes place in Chicago and features an insane match-up between Brendan Loughnane and Pedro Carvalho.

Loughnane is returing to the PFL after a disappointing 2023 season . The 2022 champion was a big favorite to repeat in 2023 but after a knockout to Jesus Pinedo, he was eliminated from the season. He'll be hungry to not let history repeat itself and Bellator's Carvalho is just the man for the job.

Carvalho has experience with the tournament format having competed in the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix in 2019. He'll be a fresh opponent for the former champion. Carvalho is on a bit of a skid with losses to Aaron Pico and Jeremy Kennedy but that just means he'll be desperate and likely not play things safe, which could equal a fun and wild fight.
