Ray Cooper III likes to count in millions.
The heavy-handed Hawaiian will begin his quest for a third consecutive Professional Fighters League welterweight championship and the $1 million prize attached to it when he battles Carlos Leal Miranda in the PFL 3 co-main event on Friday at Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Cooper opens his latest campaign on a six-fight winning streak. He last appeared in the 2021 PFL welterweight final on Oct. 27, when he wiped out Magomed Magomedkerimov with punches in the third round of their rematch.
