PFL Chicago adds Clark vs. Acosta to stacked flyweight card on October 16
Shannon Clark will face Lucero Acosta in a women's flyweight bout at PFL Chicago on October 16, with the card headlined by Liz Carmouche defending her title against Jena Bishop.
Shannon Clark and Lucero Acosta have been booked for a women’s flyweight contest at PFL Chicago on October 16, sources close to the promotion confirmed, adding a second 125-pound matchup to a card already anchored by a title fight.
Acosta steps into the PFL for the first time carrying a 6-2 professional record, with wins by knockout, submission and decision — a versatile résumé that signals she can be dangerous in all phases of a fight.
Clark arrives with momentum. She made her PFL debut at PFL San Diego earlier this summer, finishing her opponent by third-round technical knockout. That performance was enough to earn the former Legacy Fighting Alliance champion a place in the PFL women’s flyweight rankings after just one outing.
The main event sees Liz Carmouche put her undisputed women’s flyweight title on the line against Jena Bishop. The rest of the card features Timur Khizriev against Gabriel Braga, Denis Goltsov versus Maxwell Djantou Nana, Alexandr Shabliy taking on Landry Ward, Sarvarjon Khamidov battling Rafael do Nascimento, Oualy Tandia squaring off against Kendly St. Louis, and Eliezer Kubanza meeting Trey Waters.
