The Professional Fighters League will continue its postseason with PFL 8 on Friday inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, where semifinals in the heavyweight and women’s featherweight divisions are scheduled to unfold. Renan Fereira looks to take another step toward a $1,000,000 payday in the main event, as the No. 2 seed at heavyweight collides with Maurice Greene.

PFL 8 “Ferreira vs. Greene”—which airs live on ESPN and streams to ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT—also features the second heavyweight semifinal matching Denis Goltsov with Jordan Heiderman, a featherweight appetizer pitting Nathan Kelly against Damion Nelson and the two women’s featherweight semifinals, as Larissa Pacheco meets Olena Kolesnyk and Marina Moknatkina faces Amber Leibrock.
