Brit MMA star Dominique Wooding to rematch Conor McGregor's training partner Frans Mlambo in PFL Europe's $100k season | The Sun
DOMINIQUE WOODING will rematch Frans Mlambo in his Professional Fighters League debut.
The bantamweight rivals are both signed to the American promotion and feature in the inaugural PFL Europe season.
31-year-old Irishman Mlambo – who trains with UFC superstar Conor McGregor – beat Londoner Wooding, 26, on points in 2019 in a Bellator bout but they will rematch on July 8 in Berlin.
In the PFL's global season, contenders have two qualifying fights, with points earned by method of victory.
The top four in each weight then progress to the knockout stages, setting up a grand finale where $1m (£820,000) and a championship belt awaits.
PFL Europe instead has only one qualifying bout and offers $100,000 (£82,000), a title and the chance to enter the regular $1million league.
