A world class
bantamweight clash headlines PFL Chicago: Tune in LIVE, Saturday,
April 11 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

The
Professional Fighters League returns to Illinois on Saturday
with 11 fights, which are now all official following the
PFL Chicago weigh-ins.

The PFL Chicago main event will see Sergio
Pettis look to go 3-0 inside the promotion at the expense of
the undefeated Mitchell
McKee. Both men had no issue making bantamweight. Two fighters
missed their marks as Shanna
Young came in 2.2 pounds over for her fight against Viviane
Araujo, and Dashiande
Harris-Moore was 3 pounds over for his fight against Biaggio
Ali Walsh. Both fights will continue, with the overweight
fighters being fined 20 percent of their purse.

Pettis (25-7) made his PFL debut last year by taking a unanimous
decision over Raufeon
Stots and followed it up with a spectacular spinning back elbow
and punch knockout of Magomed
Magomedov. Just 32, “The Phenom” has successfully bounced back
after losses to Patrick Mix
and Kyoji
Horiguchi. The Wisconsin native will look to make Roufusport
proud by extending his win streak and officially weighed in at
134.4 pounds.

This marks the biggest fight in the career of McKee (10-0). This is
the 28-year-old fighter’s promotional debut as eight of his 10 wins
came in the
Legacy Fighting Alliance. “Merciless” most recently knocked out
Pedro
Nobre with a punch last year. The Kill Cliff FC product weighed
135.6 pounds.

PFL Chicago will air live on ESPN+ on Saturday. The main card
starts at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, while the prelims begin at 6 p.m.
