In our Fight Night series, BBC Sport explores MMA promotions across the UK and Europe, highlighting their fighters and what makes each promotion distinct.
In the second installment of our series, we delve into a night with PFL Europe, a branch of the Professional Fighters League.
This platform offers local fighters the chance to compete for impressive prizes totaling £211,000 (250,000 euros) and to showcase their skills on a global stage.
