A pair of Russian fighters have stepped in as replacement competitors in Professional Fighters League’s upcoming debut season. PFL officials today informed MMAjunkie that heavyweight Evgeniy Goncharov (10-2) has replaced an injured Nick Rossborough (26-20-1), while welterweight Magomed Magomedkerimov (18-5) has stepped in for David Zawada (16-3), who failed to come to terms with the organization despite being announced as part of the company’s roster . Goncharov and Magomedkerimov will now take part in PFL’s upcoming debut season, with hopes of qualifying for the playoffs and taking him the $1 million prize set aside for each bracket’s final champion. Goncharov made his professional debut in 2013 and currently owns a six-fight winning streak built while competing under a variety of banners in his native Russia.
