THE Professional Fighters League have announced the first full card of their European tournament.
PFL's four-event extravaganza will see eight MMA hopefuls in four different weight classes compete over ten months.
In the PFL's global season, contenders have two qualifying bouts, with points earned per method of victory.
The top four in each weight then progress to the knockout stages, setting up a grand finale where $1m (£820,000) and a championship belt awaits.
PFL Europe will follow a similar format, instead offering $100,000 (£82,000) a title and the chance to enter PFL's regular $1m-winning league.
The Euro season kicks off on Saturday, March 25 in Newcastle with the men's light-heavyweights and women's flyweights in action.
