Updated PFL Finals fight card released after fight shake-up
There's a big shake-up on the main card of the PFL Finals.
By Amy Kaplan
The 2023 PFL Finals are just a few weeks away, and a short-notice fight has been made due to a fighter pulling out.
According to a press release from PFL, former two-time PFL champion Kayla Harrison will now fight former UFC fighter Aspen Ladd at 150 pounds. Harrison was originally slated to fight Julia Budd but, according to PFL, "refused to fulfill her contractual obligation." Ladd was already slated as the alternate for the fight, so she's been training, the promotion said.
The update card is as follows.
