Rory MacDonald is set to return to the Professional Fighters League cage as the welterweight and light heavyweight season continues.
19 fighters on the PFL 5 card made their contracted weights with only Ray Cooper III coming in heavy for his welterweight bout against Nikolay Aleksakhin. The event is headlined by MacDonald facing fellow Ultimate Fighting Championship vet Gleison Tibau. "Red King" looked great in his promotional debut by choking out Curtis Millender in under four minutes, while Tibau lost a decision to Joao Zeferino.
