Defending featherweight champion Brendan
Loughnane
will lock horns with Jesus
Pinedo
in the evening’s featured bout when Professional
Fighters League resumes its season on June 8.

The league announced the full lineup for the card, which features
featherweight and light heavyweights, on Wednesday. PFL 4 takes
place at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta and will also see
defending 205-pound champion Rob

take on Will Fleury
in the co-main event. The main card airs on ESPN and includes three
additional matchups: Thiago
Santos
vs. Mohammad
Fakhreddine
at light heavyweight; Movlid

knockout victory against former UFC title challenger Marlon

straight PFL appearances and 12 of his last 13 professional
outings.

A two-time UFC veteran, Pinedo dropped a split verdict to Gabriel
