The Professional Fighters League has announced
another bout for their upcoming show in Long Island, New York, on
July 31. A women’s flyweight contest between Montana
De La Rosa (13-9-1) and Tatiana
Postarnakova (5-0) is set for
PFL New York at the UBS Arena, per sources close to the
situation.
Top notch
featherweights headline PFL San Diego: Tune in Saturday, June 27 at
9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
The fight will be the second of the year for Postarnakova, who made
her PFL debut in March and picked up a unanimous decision victory
over Elora Dana.
The Russian spent the earlier stages of her career fighting in
promotions in her home country. This includes a number of
appearances with the quasi-MMA promotion Nashe Delo, one that for
most of its existence, limited grappling to 30-second engagements
and forced exhibition tags to be applied to the matches. In
professional outings, she is perfect with five wins opposite zero
defeats, with four of those victories coming in Round 1.
The Montana native and 23-fight-veteran should be the most
established test of Postarnakova’s young career by a fair margin.
Coming off a win over Andrea Lee
in 2024 while under the UFC banner, the 31-year-old will be making
her PFL promotional debut in July. De La Rosa went 6-5-1 with the
UFC, notching notable wins over Lee, Rachael
Ostovich and Ariane
Lipski da Silva in her tenure. While she planned on facing
Luana
Carolina in 2025, a failed weight cut for her opponent resulted
in the cancelation of the match and the fulfillment of her UFC
contract.
