MMA Schedule For This Wild Week (5/3 – 5/9)

This week’s MMA schedule features an abundance of events including PFL, Bellator, UFC, and more! The week starts off with the fastest growing MMA promotion, PFL. PFL 3 will feature the Heavyweight and Women’s Lightweight divisions. Momentum from PFL will ride into Friday night when Bellator returns. The Bantamweight championship will be on the line when Juan Archuleta makes his first title defense against the always dangerous Sergio Pettis.

These two events will create the need for more blood as the UFC rolls around on Saturday night. We are unaware of the official main event, but you can be ensured this event is worth your time. Some matchups to know about are Magny vs. Neal, Trizano vs. Klein, Ribas vs. Hill, and Rodriguez vs. Waterson. This week’s MMA schedule also features two cards on UFC Fight Pass (LUX and Eternal MMA). Get ready for another wild week of MMA by reading the full MMA schedule below!
