The Professional Fighters League returns to Chicago’s Wintrust Arena on Saturday, April 11, with an action-packed fight card that promises high-stakes matchups. In the main event, former Bellator Bantamweight Champion Sergio Pettis faces undefeated rising contender Mitch McKee in a 135-pound clash that could shake up the division. Both fighters arrive in the Windy City looking to make statements that could propel their careers forward.

The co-main event features a middleweight bout between Milwaukee’s undefeated wrestler Jordan Newman and American Top Team standout Josh Silveira. Newman, a three-time NCAA Division III All-American, aims to maintain his perfect 8-0 record. Silveira, a former LFA Light Heavyweight and Middleweight Champion, looks to extend his momentum in a high-stakes matchup at 185 pounds.

Pettis and McKee set for pivotal clash

Sergio “The Phenom” Pettis returns to Wintrust Arena following a Knockout of the Year performance against Magomed Magomedov in October. The Milwaukee native is eager to deliver another dominant showing and put himself back into title contention. McKee, making his PFL debut after a second-round TKO in LFA, hopes to shock the division and show that his undefeated 10-0 record is no fluke. Both athletes bring contrasting styles and high-level experience, setting the stage for a bantamweight thriller.

The co-main bout carries significant implications for the middleweight division. Newman combines elite wrestling credentials with perfect timing, while Silveira brings an 80% finish rate and proven striking. The clash of styles and high stakes promises an exciting, unpredictable fight that could influence the division’s rankings for months.
