The main event puts the spotlight on a middleweight rematch with the Interim Title on the line. Former Middleweight World Champion Johnny "Pressure" Eblen meets 2023 PFL Light Heavyweight Tournament Champion Impa "Tshilobo" Kasanganay in a rematch of their split decision meeting at PFL Champions vs. Bellator Champions. Eblen returns to a title fight after a first round submission win over UFC veteran Bryan Battle at PFL Pittsburgh, while Kasanganay arrives off a first-round knockout over Dalton Rosta on that same night. The winner leaves Austin as the Interim Middleweight Champion.
