PFL 4 PFL 5: High vs. Schulte PFL 6

PFL 5: High vs. Schulte was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Professional Fighters League that will be held on August 2, 2018, at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This is the fifth regular season event of 2018 and will include only fights in the lightweight and light heavyweight divisions.[2][3]

Background

Brian Foster was expected to face Natan Schulte at this event. However, Foster was removed due to an unspecified illness and replaced by Jason High.[4]

Originally a fight was set between Islam Mamedov and Efrain Escudero. However, Escudero missed the 156-pound weight limit by over seven pounds, and the bout was scratched from the card all together.[5] As a result, Mamedov was awarded 3 points via walkover victory.
