The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has unveiled their selections from round three of their fighter selection process for the 2019 season. The latest selections include former UFC fighters and an Olympic gold judo competitor from japan. The roster is said to have been elevated from last year, having fighters come from the international fight scene to fight their way through the PFL’s season format.

UFC fans will notice Jeremy Kennedy has joined the PFL’s featherweight division. Kennedy went 3-1 in the UFC and has a record of 13-1 overall. Joining Kennedy as a former UFC and Bellator competitor is Damon Jackson, also in the featherweight division with a record of 16-2-1 overall in mixed martial arts. Chris Curtis who fought on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series joins the PFL welterweight division bringing with him a seven-fight win streak.

From Japan, fighting out of Croatia, Satoshi Ishii (20-8-1) brings his Olympic level Judo to the PFL. Ishii won gold in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. The press release from the PFL said Ishii retired from Judo after that to pursue MMA full time and trains out of the same camp as Mirko “Cro-Cop” Filipovic.
