PFL DC main event changes after opponent withdrawal on fight week

The PFL DC event scheduled for July 23 is undergoing changes as Shamil Musaev has withdrawn from the welterweight title fight against Thad Jean due to undisclosed reasons. In his place, Ernesto Rodriguez will step in to face Jean at CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C. The match card has seen several adjustments this week, including the cancellation of other athletes like Magomed Umalatov and Bruno Cappelozza, with a total of eight bouts remaining. Jean aims to become the first U.S.-born PFL champion, while Rodriguez looks to secure a notable victory following his debut win in March.
