Professional Fighters League is retaining one of its top middleweight talents.
The promotion on Wednesday announced that it has re-signed Johnny Eblen to an exclusive, mult-fight contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Eblen had a 16-fight professional winning streak snapped in his last outing, when he suffered a fifth-round submission defeat to Costello van Steenis at PFL Cape Town on July 19. Had Eblen survived the final 10 seconds of that fight, it’s likely that he would have emerged with a decision triumph. Instead, Van Steenis was crowned as the undisputed PFL middleweight champion.
