A single million-dollar payday was not enough to quench Larissa Pacheco’s competitive thirst in the Professional Fighters League.
The onetime champion at 155 pounds will pick up her pursuit of a women’s featherweight title when she throws hands with Amber Leibrock in the PFL 5 co-headliner on Friday at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta. Pacheco enters the cage on the strength of a seven-fight winning streak that now spans more than three years. She last appeared at PFL 2, where she was awarded a three-round unanimous decision over former Bellator MMA champion Julia Budd in their April 7 pairing.
