The upcoming Professional Fighters League card has undergone a pair of changes just days before the event.
PFL New York, scheduled for July 31 at UBS Arena in Belmont, N.Y., will move forward with its two featured bouts intact, as Usman Nurmagomedov looks to defend his lightweight title against Archie Colgan in the main event, while Dakota Ditcheva faces Denise Kielholtz in the co-main event.
However, two fights have been impacted during fight week, with one canceled altogether.
Simeon Powell was scheduled to face Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov in a light heavyweight bout on the main card, but the matchup has been canceled. Powell (12-2) announced the news on social media, though he did not disclose the reason behind the withdrawal.
“It’s one of those ones that’s out of my control,” Powell said in an Instagram video. “It’s annoying, but we’ve just got to keep moving.”
The event also lost a light heavyweight bout from the preliminary card, as undefeated prospect Zacharia Nishimwe (4-0) is out of his scheduled matchup against Moustapha Diakhate (5-0-1). The promotion is reportedly searching for a short-notice replacement to keep Diakhate on the card.
The PFL New York event card as of July 29 is as follows:
Usman Nurmagomedov vs. Archie Colgan
Dakota Ditcheva vs. Denise Kielholtz
Amru Magomedov vs. Angel Alvarez
Raufeon Stots vs. Lazaro Dayron
Jonathan Piersma vs. Omar El Dafrawy
Sean Gauci vs. Allan Begosso
Jamelle Jones vs. Khabib Nabiev
Montana De La Rosa vs. Tatiana Postarnakova
Chamy Delva vs. Levan Khabalaev
The PFL New York main card airs live on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET.
A lightweight title fight headlines PFL NY: Tune on Friday, July 31 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
