In what is being billed as a Clash of the Caribbean, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) makes their second ever trip to Nashville, Tennessee for a rip-roaring clash between welterweight standouts Jason Jackson and Thad Jean in the PFL Nashville main event. In the co-main event of PFL Nashville, reputable knockout artist Jesus Pinedo goes to battle against Gabriel Braga.
Jumping back into the win column with a superb victory over Andrey Koreshkov back in April, Jackson is now tasked with contending with a young and hungry prospect with vaunted punching power. For most fighters, this would seem like a tall order to fill, but for the former Bellator 170-lb champion, it will surely be just another day in the caged office in PFL Nashville.
Quickly making a name for himself in the PFL off the back of several highlight reel knockouts, Jean has elevated himself to becoming something of a folk hero within the organization ahead of PFL Nashville. Although only 9-0 in his professional career, “The Silverback” has made it abundantly clear that he has veteran opposition on his mind as he strives towards the top of the promotion.
Going to the scorecards just once across his last eight wins, Pinedo kickstarted what is looking to be a fruitful run in the featherweight bracket with a colossal first round knockout in his last contest over Ádám Borics. For his second match of the bracket, fight fans shouldn’t look away for any reason, as the Peruvian finisher is looking to log another quick night in the smart cage.
Currently in the midst of a two-fight win streak dating back to August of last year, Braga is riding a phenomenal first round submission triumph over Frederik Dupras. Having already lost to Pinedo once before back in 2023, the Brazilian is more than eager to avenge his first loss as a professional against his fellow South American.
