The 2024 PFL season rolled on when heavyweights and women’s flyweights met at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT to fight for a spot in this year's playoffs.

PFL 4 2024 Regular Season Preview: Valentin Moldavsky vs. Linton Vassell 3

The main event was a trilogy fight between heavyweights Valentin Moldavsky and Linton Vassell. The pair traded victories in their 2019 and 2023 meetings under the Bellator banner, and in their third meeting Vassell took a hard-fought split decision win but missed out on a playoff spot due to Tim Johnson's first-round finish from earlier in the night.

The night’s co-main event was a women’s flyweight matchup featuring last year’s PFL Europe champion Dakota Ditcheva and Chelsea Hackett. The unbeaten Ditcheva had already picked up a first-round finish in her opening bout for the 2024 regular season, and another opening round TKO against Hackett earned her the top seed in this year's women's flyweight tournament.

The rest of the main card saw Denis Goltsov stop Thiago Santos and Liz Carmouche pull off a dramatic armbar finish with just eight seconds remaining in her fight against Kana Watanabe. The prelims also featured Taila Santos handing Jena Bishop the first loss of her career, although both women still qualified for this year's playoffs and will compete for the women's flyweight crown.
