PFL New York to feature Usman Nurmagomedov, Dakota Ditcheva on July 31

The Professional Fighters League will make its New York debut on July 31 at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, Long Island, headlined by a lightweight title defense. PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov, who last defended his belt in February with a technical submission victory over Alfie Davis, will face undefeated challenger Archie Colgan. The 30-year-old Colgan, a collegiate wrestler from the University of Wyoming, brings a perfect 13-0 record to the matchup, having built his reputation during his time with Bellator MMA. In the co-main event, Dakota Ditcheva will return from injury to compete in a women's flyweight bout against Denise Kielholtz. The event will air on ESPN beginning at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, marking the PFL's inaugural event in New York and featuring two undefeated fighters in the main event.
