How to Watch PFL 8

The Professional Fighters League once again has its wagon hitched to Kayla Harrison.

The unbeaten two-time Olympic gold medalist and defending league champion will do battle with Genah Fabian in the 2021 women’s lightweight semifinals, as they headline PFL 8 on Thursday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Meanwhile, Mariana Morais fills in for an overweight Larissa Pacheco and tackles Taylor Guardado on the other side of the 155-pound bracket.

PFL 8 “Harrison vs. Fabian”—which airs live on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT—also features the two heavyweight semifinals, as Bruno Henrique Cappelozza meets Jamelle Jones and Denis Goltsov faces Ante Delija. The undercard will stream in its entirety to ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT, a heavyweight clash matching Renan Ferreira with Stuart Austin anchoring the five-fight slate of prelims.
