The PFL’s first trip to Pittsburgh has its lineup set for next month with a middleweight main event.
Former Bellator champion Johnny Eblen (16-1) meets UFC castoff Bryan Battle (12-2) in the headliner. In the co-feature, Pittsburgh’s own Dalton Rosta (11-2) takes on former PFL season winner Impa Kasanganay (19-6) at 185 pounds.
The 12-bout PFL Pittsburgh (ESPN2/ESPN Deportes) event takes place March 28 at UPMC Events Center.
On the preliminary card three-time NCAA Division-I All-American wrestler Bryce Meredith (7-1) will try to rebound from the first loss of his career when he takes on former Cage Warriors champion Jack Cartwright (13-2) at bantamweight. Plus, two-time PFL lightweight season winner Natan Schulte (25-5-1) returns after three years away from the promotion to fight Jakub Kaszuba (15-0), a two-time PFL Europe champion.
