Professional Fighters League has done some reshuffling for its next regular season event.

The organization on Tuesday announced multiple changes and updates to PFL 4, which features heavyweights and women’s flyweights and takes place on June 13 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

In the heavyweight division, Steve Mowry, who was supposed to face Gokhan Saricam, and Blagoy Ivanov, who was slated to meet Oleg Popov, have withdrawn from the card for undisclosed reasons. Instead, Danilo Marques will lock horns with Saricam, while Marcelo Nunes will square off against Popov. Marques and Nunes were initially paired against each other at PFL 4 before the changes to the card were announced.

On the women’s side, Saray Orozco will replace Kaytlin Neil and face Sumiko Inaba at 125 pounds. A reason for Neil’s exit was not revealed. Additionally, a new flyweight pairing pitting Melissa Balic against Kristina Katsikis has been added to the event.

PFL 4 is headlined by a heavyweight trilogy bout between Valentin Moldavsky and Linton Vassell. In the co-main event, Dakota Ditcheva will collide with Chelsea Hackett at flyweight. The main card airs on ESPN and ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, while prelims stream on ESPN+ at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
