Additionally, at Featherweight, No. 8 ranked Alexei Pergande (7-0) takes on No. 9 ranked Julio Arce (21-6). With these additions, the main card now features four bouts.<\/p>\n<p>General sale tickets are available now via Ticketmaster. For more information, visit http:\/\/pfl.info\/pittsburgh. Additional bouts will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n<p>The Main Card will be available in the U.S. on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes at 10:00 pm ET\/7:00 pm PT. The early card will begin at 7:00 pm ET\/4:00 pm PT on the ESPN App for fans with access to the ESPN Unlimited plan.<\/p>\n<p>In the PFL Pittsburgh main event, former Bellator Champion Johnny \u201cPressure\u201d Eblen (16-1) will face Bryan \u201cThe Butcher\u201d Battle (12-2-1 NC) in his PFL debut. The co-main event will see Pittsburgh\u2019s own Dalton \u201cHercules\u201d Rosta (11-2) return to action in a tough test against former PFL Champion Impa Kasanganay (19-6).<\/p>\n<p>A 14-fight veteran of the UFC, Ariane Lipski da Silva has competed professionally since 2013. Aptly nicknamed \u201cQueen of Violence,\u201d the Brazilian standout has secured finishes in 10 of her 17 professional victories. She faces Maui\u2019s Sumiko Inaba, a dangerous striker coming off a five-round battle with undefeated Dakota Ditcheva. A former Bellator MMA mainstay, Inaba has a strong finishing instinct and has never been stopped in her two career losses.<\/p>\n<p>Undefeated to start his professional career, Nashville\u2019s Alexei Pergande looks to keep his momentum rolling against Julio Arce, a 10-fight veteran of the UFC making his PFL debut on March 28. A top prospect at Kill Cliff FC, Pergande is coming off a first-round submission win in August, while Arce enters the PFL cage riding a three-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>Updated PFL Pittsburgh Main Card:<\/p>\n<p>UPMC Events Center, Pittsburgh, PA<\/p>\n<p>March 28 | 10 pm ET<\/p>\n<p>ESPN2 &amp; ESPN Deportes (US)<\/p>\n<p>Middleweight Main Event: #1-Johnny Eblen (16-1) vs. #7-Bryan Battle (12-2, 1 NC)<\/p>\n<p>Middleweight Co-Main Event: #5-Dalton Rosta (11-2) vs. #3-Impa Kasanganay (19-6)<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s Flyweight Main Card Bout: #8-Ariane Lipski da Silva (17-11) vs. #4-Sumiko Inaba (8-2)<\/p>\n<p>Featherweight Main Card Bout: #8-Alexei Pergande (7-0) vs. #9-Julio Arce (21-6)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TN Rep.
