The PFL Challenger Series will unveil an interesting concept for its April 1 offering, as every fighter on the card will be making their mixed martial arts debut.

The card will be topped by a welterweight clash between Serbian kickboxer Andrija Stankovic and American grappler Louis Brewington, who takes a four-bout amateur winning streak into his pro debut.

The PFL Challenger Series takes place at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., and airs exclusively on FuboTV at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. One winner from the “MMA Debuts” card will be selected to receive a contract to compete in the 2022 PFL season or a developmental deal with the promotion.

The other four bouts for the event are as follows: American Top Team Atlanta export Christian Turner vs. South Florida-based Cuban Chayanne Serrano at lightweight; Alexei Pergande vs. Joe Hamm at lightweight; Santino Zurita vs. Rakim Talley at heavyweight and Jaylon McDaniel vs. Daeri Alderman at featherweight.

“The Professional Fighters League prides itself on innovation and finding the best fighters from around the world.” PFL president Ray Sefo said in a release. “We are excited to present an entire PFL Challenger Series card to MMA fighters making their professional debuts. At the PFL we pride ourselves on looking to the future of the sport, the future steps into the SmartCage on April 1.”
