After his most recent fight, Jordan Johnson had a decision to make, and it ultimately came down to what was in the best interests of his family.
Johnson, an undefeated light heavyweight who went 4-0 in the UFC, signed with PFL earlier this year. He is set to make his debut with the promotion Thursday night at PFL 3, where he meets Maxim Grishin in his first regular-season bout.
Johnson fought out his UFC contract last September at UFC Moscow, where he submitted Adam Yandiev in the second round. Johnson said he was given the opportunity to re-sign with the UFC before that fight but declined in hopes of a better deal with a win.
