Score a Bonus Fight The semi-finals of PFL World Tournament 6 might not be the only thrilling MMA showdown on June 20th. The organization has dropped a surprise, announcing a lightweight bout between Mansour Barnaui and Archie Colgan on the card.
The victor of this titanic tussle will seize the number one contender position for the PFL lightweight championship, currently owned by Usman Nurmagomedov.
