The 2021 Professional Fighters League regular season continues with the Week 3 event on Thursday night.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum is in action, alongside Mohammed Usman, the brother of current UFC welterweight kingpin Kamaru Usman.

Our tips for the night’s action are provided by expert MMA analysts and tipsters.

Fabricio Werdum vs Renan Ferreira


Werdum is not the fighter he once was but he is levels above a relative novice in Ferreira.

Ferreira is just eight fights into his career, with a 6-2 record, and he could be out of his depth here.

Werdum can take him down, hook in a submission and force Ferreira to tap for the second time in his career.

Mohammed Usman vs Brandon Sayles


Usman is the big brother of UFC welterweight champion Kamaru – both in age and in size.

‘The Motor’ went 4-0 in Titan FC’s heavyweight ranks before signing with the PFL and the streak can continue here.

Sayles is a journeyman fighter who has not held down a deal with any promotion and has not fought in over three years.

Larissa Pacheco vs Julija Pajic


Pacheco made it all the way to the 2019, where she was beaten by Kayla Harrison for the second time in here career.

Pajic is just three fights into her career and has fought fellow rookies and an 0-1 opponent.

Pacheco is the more seasoned and experienced campaigner and this fight may be too soon for Pajic.

Verdict

The bookmakers fully expect victories for Fabricio Werdum, Larissa Pacheco and Mohammed Usman.

I share that confidence. They can all make a winning start to the 2021 PFL regular season.
