The highly anticipated PFL vs. Bellator pay-per-view fight card finally has a date and location.

After acquiring Bellator at the end of 2023, PFL founder Donn Davis declared that one of the first orders of business for the promotion would be a “mega event” pitting PFL champions against Bellator champions sometime early in 2024. Now the event is set as on Tuesday, PFL officials confirmed with MMA Fighting that the PFL vs. Bellator super-card will take place on Feb. 24 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ariel Helwani was the first to report the news.

Also on the main card, 2023 PFL featherweight champion Jesus Pinedo will face Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Pitbull, and 2023 PFL welterweight champion Magomed Magomedkerimov will face Bellator welterweight champion Jason Jackson.
