PFL’s 2018 lightweight champion and 2019 tournament No. 1 seed, Natan Schulte , is all set for a big night in Las Vegas as he prepares for the lightweight playoffs Thursday at Mandalay Bay Events Center The Brazilian (17-3-1 MMA, 4-0-1 PFL), who hasn’t lost since the promotion rebranded from World Series of Fighting to the PFL in 2018, is looking to become a two-time lightweight tournament champion starting by negotiating his quarterfinal bout with former UFC fighter Ramsey Nijem on Thursday. Looking back at his time with the promotion, the 27-year-old from Santa Catarina says he has continued to evolve and head into the knockout portion of the PFL’s 2019 season a better fighter than the man who won the title last year.
