Manfio earned three points with a split-decision triumph against Joilton Lutterbach at PFL 1 on April 23. The former Titan FC title holder has won four of his last five professional outings and is 12-3 as a professional overall.
Schulte, who won the PFL 155-pound championship in both 2018 and 2019, dropped a unanimous verdict to Marcin Held at PFL 1 and could be on the verge of missing the postseason. The setback to held snapped a 10-bout unbeaten streak for “Russo.”
