The 2024 PFL global season is set to continue with a number of exciting matchups scheduled to kick off the second half of what is regarded as the toughest tournament in MMA.

The 2024 regular season has seen plenty of exciting moments so far and the promotion recently announced when fans can expect the second half to get underway. In a press release, the PFL announced that the second half of the 2024 regular season will kick off on June 13th live from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The event will showcase the heavyweight and women's flyweight divisions, with the main event featuring a heavyweight clash between Valentin Moldavsky and Linton Vassell. Both fighters are no strangers to each other, as they competed twice before in Bellator, which saw Fedor Emelianenko's protege earn a unanimous decision in their first bout and 'The Swarm' earning a first-round TKO to avenge his loss in the rematch.

In the co-main event 2023 PFL Europ, women's flyweight champion Dakota Ditcheva takes on Chelsea Hackett. 'Dangerous' will look to keep her unbeaten record intact and maintain a top seed in the standings, while the Australian will look to rebound from her previous loss by making a statement against one of the favorites.

It will be interesting to see what other bouts are announced as the first event delivered plenty of excitement as seven of the 10 regular season bouts didn't go the distance.

With the heavyweight and women's flyweight divisions being showcased, fans can also expect to see the likes of Daniel James, Oleg Popov, former UFC title challenger Taila Santos, and Bellator women's flyweight champion Liz Carmouche.
