It’s a double PFL debut for a pair of unbeaten heavyweights looking to impress, and maybe even sneak their way into the PFL Playoffs, as Patrick Brady takes on Jordan Heiderman.

 

Brady comes into this fight with a 5-0 record, including a 4-0 record in Art of War Cage Fighting, where he became Heavyweight Champion.

 

Heiderman, who wrestled and played football in college before adding jiu-jitsu and boxing to his repertoire, enters this fight 6-0, including his five most recent fights in the LFA. In addition, Heiderman might be better known for his appearance on season 30 of The Ultimate Fighter reality show.

 

With both competitors in this matchup competing in their first PFL bout this season, they each need a stoppage win to have any shot at clinching a spot in the PFL heavyweight playoffs. If they can get a finish, they then have to wait and see the results of later heavyweight matchups on the card.
