Broadcast and streaming info

PFL New York takes place Friday at UBS Arena in Belmont Park on Long Island.

The card airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+ at 4 p.m. ET for the prelims and 7 p.m. ET for the four-fight main card.

Record: 21-0
Opponent: Archie Colgan (13-0)
Division: Lightweight
Key wins: Alfie Davis, Paul Hughes (twice), Alexander Shabliy, Benson Henderson, Patricky Freire
Misc: The former Bellator lightweight champion beat Hughes in a rematch for the vacant title last fall and defended it with a submission of Davis in February – his first stoppage under the PFL banner. The cousin of former UFC champ Khabib has fought in only title bouts the past four years.

Record: 13-0
Opponent: Usman Nurmagomedov (21-0)
Division: Lightweight
Key wins: Jay Jay Wilson, Mansour Barnaoui, Manoel Sousa, Thibault Gouti, Emmanuel Sanchez
Misc: Standout wrestler Colgan gets his first major title shot against a fellow unbeaten opponent. He comes in with six straight unanimous decision wins, including his breakout performance three years ago against Sanchez, who was his most accomplished opponent to date. And he hasn’t looked back.

Record: 15-0
Opponent: Denise Kielholtz (9-5)
Division: Women’s flyweight
Key wins: Sumiko Inaba, Taila Santos, Jena Bishop, Chelsea Hackett
Misc: After nine straight stoppage wins, England’s Ditcheva finally had to go the distance in the PFL a year ago when former Bellator standout Inaba took her 15 minutes. She was set to return in February against Kielholtz, but was sidelined with an injury. Now she’s back, and it’s likely a win will put her into a vacant title fight.

Record: 9-5
Opponent: Dakota Ditcheva (15-0)
Division: Women’s flyweight
Key wins: Sumiko Inaba, Kate Jackson
Misc: Kielholtz has been to the mountaintop before in Bellator, but came up short against Juliana Velasquez with a split decision loss for the title five years ago. It was the first of three straight losses. But after more than two years away, she came to the PFL earlier this year, and a win over Antonia Silvaneide, who stepped in for Ditcheva, got her back to active. Now she won’t face the unbeaten Ditcheva after a lengthy layoff.
