Jake Hadley enjoyed a memorable PFL debut. | PFL MMA
Jake Hadley will have to go into hostile territory to earn his second Professional Fighters League victory.
The organization on Thursday announced that Hadley will square off against Spain’s Kevin Cordero in a bantamweight clash at PFL Madrid on March 20. The event takes place at Palacio Vitalegre in Madrid, Spain, and is headlined by a middleweight championship showdown between Costello van Steenis and Fabian Edwards. The card will air on the ESPN app in the United States.
A Strong First Impression
A former Cage Warriors champion and a seven-time UFC veteran, Hadley his split his first two PFL appearances. “White Kong” enjoyed a spectacular promotional debut, when he tapped out Matheus Mattos with a third-round twister at PFL World Tournament 2 on April 11. The 29-year-old Englishman couldn’t continue that momentum in his second outing, as he dropped a unanimous verdict to Marcirley Alves at PFL World Tournament 6 on June 20.
Cordero, who hails from the Canary Islands, will be fighting for the first time in more than a year and a half. In his most recent appearance, 26-year-old Black Lion Team representative scored a flying knee knockout of Adriano Ramos at Total MMA “Gran Canaria” on June 29, 2024. That snapped a three-bout skid for Cordero, who has notably competed for organizations such as Combate Global and Cage Warriors while compiling a 15-5 career mark.
