Barring injury or other unforeseen circumstances, the playoff pairings are set for Professional Fighters League’s venture into the United Kingdom next month.

PFL 7 takes place on Aug. 13 at Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales, and features welterweight and heavyweight semifinals. Rory MacDonald will face Magomed Umalatov in one 170-pound matchup, while Sadibou Sy will face Carlos Leal Miranda in the other half of the bracket. At heavyweight, Ante Delija takes on Renan Ferreira, while Denis Goltsov squares off against Bruno Cappelozza.

Meanwhile, PFL 8 will go down on Aug. 20 at Copperbox Arena in London and is highlighted by the women’s lightweight and men’s featherweight semifinals. Two-time champ Kayla Harrison will meet Martina Jindrova at 155 pounds, while Larissa Pacheco faces Helena Koelsnyk in the other lightweight semifinal. At featherweight, Chris Wade fights Brendan Loughnane, while Ryoji Kudo locks horns with Bubba Jenkins.

The PFL announced Wednesday that tickets are on sale for both events.

“The PFL is excited to bring our first international events to Cardiff and London on August 13 and 20,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray. “As the Professional Fighters League continues its expansion, we look forward to delivering 2022 PFL playoff action to MMA fans in the UK. The PFL playoffs give fans the best live action in combat sports as the PFL’s world-class athletes continue their pursuit of a PFL championship and the $1 million prize.”

The PFL postseason will kick off on Aug. 5 at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York with lightweight and light heavyweight semifinal bouts.
