Former Cage Warriors champion and UFC veteran Stevie Ray headlines the first PFL card in his native Scotland. He faces Lewis Long on Sept. 28, the company announced Tuesday.
The card will be held at the OVO Hydro arena in Glasgow. Scottish lightweight Robert Whiteford is set to fight longtime MMA veteran Roger Huerta in a 150-pound co-main event.
Ray (25-13) aims to break a four-fight losing streak when he steps into the cage in his home country. “Braveheart” has won two of six appearances under the PFL banner, both victories coming against ex-UFC and WEC champion Anthony Pettis.
Wales’ Long (19-7) makes his promotional debut after a stint with Bellator. He went 3-2 there, securing three submission victories between 2019 and 2022.
Whiteford (16-5, 1 NC) joins PFL for the first time. Previously, he went 1-1 with one no-contest in Bellator and earned victories over Daniel Pineda and Paul Redmond during his UFC tenure.
Huerta (23-13-1, 1 NC) has fought globally for UFC, Bellator, ONE Championship, and more. The 41-year-old veteran, known as “El Matador,” has over two decades of experience and notable wins over Leonard Garcia and Clay Guida.
Huerta aims to snap a four-fight losing skid dating back to 2018. He hasn’t competed since an April 2021 loss to Chris Gonzalez in Bellator.
