Pettis vs. McKee headlines PFL Chicago

Sergio Pettis aims to keep his momentum going as he moves closer to a PFL bantamweight title opportunity.

Pettis (25-7) is set to face undefeated Mitch McKee (10-0) in the main event of PFL Chicago on April 11 at Wintrust Arena, promotion officials announced Thursday.

Pettis is coming off a Knockout of the Year contender against Magomed Magomedov at PFL Dubai this past October. The former Bellator champion called for a shot at the vacant title following the victory, but will first need to get past a rising prospect. McKee, who represents Kill Cliff FC, last competed in September, earning a knockout win in the main event of LFA 217.

In the co-main event, middleweights Jordan Newman (8-0) and American Top Team’s Josh Silveira (15-5) are set to clash.
