Paulina Wisniewska faces Chelsea Hackett in a key women\u2019s
\nflyweight matchup<\/h2>\n

Sources close to the promotion confirmed to Sherdog that Paulina
\nWisniewska<\/a> will face Chelsea
\nHackett<\/a> in a bout with potential implications for the women\u2019s
\nflyweight division.<\/p>\n

Wisniewska earned her most recent victory during the PFL\u2019s first
\nvisit to Chicago this year, stopping Kana
\nWatanabe<\/a> via technical knockout in the second round. The result
\nmarked her fifth victory under the PFL banner.<\/p>\n

The Polish fighter has suffered only one loss as a professional,
\ndropping a split decision to fellow rising contender Sabrinna
\nde Sousa<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

A flyweight
\ntitle fight headlines PFL Chicago: Tune in on Saturday, Oct. 16 at
\n11 p.m. ET on ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hackett also enters the matchup following a victory. She defeated
\nAndrea
\nVazquez<\/a> at PFL Belfast in April, snapping a three-fight losing
\nstreak.<\/p>\n

A victory over Wisniewska would give Hackett a strong case for
\ninclusion in the PFL women\u2019s flyweight rankings, while another win
\nfor Wisniewska could strengthen her position near the top of the
\ndivision.<\/p>\n

\nKhizriev<\/a> meets Gabriel
\nBraga<\/a> and Denis
\nGoltsov<\/a> takes on Maxwell
