Fresh off a win over former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez, Alex Nicholson (10-5) is now a part of the Professional Fighters League. PFL officials told MMAjunkie that Nicholson has signed on for the promotion’s upcoming debut season and will face off with fellow UFC veteran Jack May (9-3) at PFL 1, which takes place June 7 at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. Four fights air on NBCSN following eight contests that stream live on Facebook, though the night’s bout order has yet to be officially finalized. Nicholson replaces Denis Goltsov (21-5) on PFL’s season one heavyweight roster after visa issues forced the Russian to withdraw. Nick Rossborogh (26-20-1), who was scheduled to face Goltsov will be paired against another opponent at a later date.
