Ronny Markes hopes for better future with PFL after ‘crazy’ experience in Russia

Professional Fighters League makes its debut Friday night in Daytona, Fla., and it's like a fresh restart for Ronny Markes.

PFL was founded by Washington D.C. businessmen Donn Davis, Russ Ramsey, and Mark Leschly, who purchased World Series of Fighting earlier this year. Markes, a UFC veteran who had issues with the WSOF brass in the past, is happy to be back in their cage now with a new executive team backstage.

Confident in a more professional future for the sport with PFL, Markes returns to action shortly after a “crazy" experience in Sochi, Russian, where he fought for M-1 Global.
