Cage Fury Fighting Championships featherweight king Jose Perez is taking his talents to Professional Fighters League.

Perez’s management, Iridium Sports Agency, announced the signing on Monday, and Sherdog.com later confirmed the news with PFL officials. According to the event page of PFL broadcast partner ESPN, Perez is slated to face Tyler Diamond at PFL 6 on June 28.

The 29-year-old Perez has compiled an 8-1 mark as a professional, with all but one of his appearances coming under the CFFC banner. He last appeared at CFFC 123 this past September, when he took a unanimous decision against Chris Vasil. Perez has earned four of his career triumphs via submission and four by way of decision.

Anchored at Team Alpha Male, Diamond has competed under the PFL banner since 2021. Most recently, he took a three-round verdict over Otto Rodrigues at PFL 3 on April 19.

PFL 6 takes place on June 28 at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and is headlined by a featherweight tilt pitting Brendan Loughnane against Justin Gonzales. The card features the second round of regular season bouts for featherweight and welterweight competitors.
