Get ready for an explosive MMA showdown! Bryan Battle is stepping into the spotlight with unwavering confidence for his highly anticipated main event debut.
Battle, with an impressive record of 12-2, is set to face off against the former Bellator middleweight champion, Johnny Eblen, at PFL Pittsburgh on March 28th. With a background as the winner of Season 29 of 'The Ultimate Fighter' and a 7-1 record in the UFC, Battle believes he was on the verge of something big before joining PFL.
"I felt like I was just hitting my stride towards the end of my UFC journey," Battle shared with MMA Junkie Radio. "It's been a while since I've been the main attraction. Until I lose, I'm the A-side, the main event, the one everyone tunes in to see."
But here's where it gets interesting: Battle's opponent, Eblen, is no pushover. A former dominant champion from American Top Team, Eblen recently suffered his first career loss in a thrilling submission battle against Costello van Steenis. Despite this, Battle remains confident, believing he's the true star of the show.
"I'm the big draw. I'm the one people are tuning in for. This time, I have a worthy opponent, a great dance partner who some might even say is better than me. It adds an extra layer of excitement, but my fate is in my hands."
So, who will reign supreme in this highly anticipated match-up? Will Battle's confidence carry him to victory, or will Eblen prove his worth as the better fighter? The answers await at PFL Pittsburgh on March 28th. Don't miss this historic event!
