The league announced the full lineup for the card, which features featherweight and light heavyweights, on Wednesday. PFL 4 takes place at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta and will also see defending 205-pound champion Rob Wilkinson take on Will Fleury in the co-main event. The main card airs on ESPN and includes three additional matchups: Thiago Santos vs. Mohammad Fakhreddine at light heavyweight; Movlid Khaybulaev vs. Daniel Torres at featherweight and Marthin Hamlet vs. Sam Kei at light heavyweight.
Loughnane began his 2023 campaign with a second-round technical knockout victory against former UFC title challenger Marlon Moraes at PFL 1 on April 1. The Englishman has won five straight PFL appearances and 12 of his last 13 professional outings.
A two-time UFC veteran, Pinedo dropped a split verdict to Gabriel Braga at PFL 1. The 26-year-old Peru native had won his previous four fights on the regional circuit by knockout or technical knockout.
Multiple regular season pairings were also confirmed for the PFL 4 preliminary card, which airs on ESPN+: Joshua Silveira vs. Delan Monte at light heavyweight; Bubba Jenkins vs. Sung Bin Jo at featherweight; Krzysztof Jotko vs. Ty Flores at light heavyweight; Alejandro Flores vs. Marlon Moraes at featherweight and Chris Wade vs. Ryoji Kudo at featherweight.
