Amanda Serrano, the featherweight boxing champion, is stepping into a thrilling new arena. Known for her incredible prowess as a knockout artist, she’s now partnering with the Professional Fighters League (PFL), an organization applauded for its innovation and quick rise to prominence.
The alliance between Serrano and the PFL means she will transition from her boxing ring to the MMA cage, specifically in the PFL PPV Super Fight Division. As a seven-division world champion and the first Puerto Rican to achieve such glory, she’s more than a champion – she’s a worldwide phenomenon.
With an impressive 44-2-1 record, including 30 knockouts, Serrano is far from an ordinary fighter. Her skills extend beyond boxing into MMA and Jiu-Jitsu. Reentering the MMA realm with a 2-0-1 record and both wins by submission, she’s no newcomer to the cage. She’s geared up to prove her MMA championship potential.
In No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, her 5-0 record with four submissions further demonstrates her elite capabilities. Her last MMA victory in 2021 against Valentina Garcia was another remarkable feat.
Joining luminaries like Francis Ngannou, Jake Paul, and Kayla Harrison, Serrano’s addition to the PFL PPV Super Fight Division promises more excitement. Her debut in PFL’s SmartCage is eagerly awaited, as her presence will undoubtedly electrify the competition.
The move to PFL is marked by great expectations, as Serrano praises the league’s fighter-first approach and dedication to top-quality events. Her readiness to compete is matched by her desire to elevate women in the sport, lauding PFL’s stance on gender equality.
PFL’s leadership, including CEO Peter Murray and co-creators of the PFL PPV Super Fight Division, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, share their enthusiasm about Serrano’s addition. They see her decision as evidence of the league’s positive trajectory, commitment to equal pay, and promotion of female fighters.
Unique in its sports-season structure, the PFL operates a “win and advance” system. With fighters from over 20 nations, many ranked in the top 25 of their weight class, PFL stands as a global force. Their state-of-the-art technology, like the PFL SmartCage, enhances both betting and fan engagement, cementing their position as an industry innovator.
