The preliminary portion of the event will begin at 7 pm ET \/ 4 pm PT and can be seen via the ESPN app. Tickets for the event are available through pre-sale beginning on Monday, April 27 via pfl.info\/sandiego. Additional bouts will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n<p>The main event carries significant implications in the PFL featherweight division, as former Bellator World Champion AJ McKee looks to defend his position near the top of the rankings against one of the division\u2019s fastest-rising contenders in Isbulaev. Ranked No. 2, Southern California\u2019s McKee remains one of the most dangerous and accomplished fighters on the planet, most recently earning a unanimous decision victory over Adam Borics at PFL Madrid. Kazakhstan\u2019s Isbulaev enters with a perfect professional record, and his emphatic win over Jesus Pinedo in February has quickly positioned him as a legitimate title threat at 145 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>PFL San Diego Presented by GOVX will serve as a featured event within the league\u2019s newly announced partnership with GOVX, the leading platform serving military members, first responders, and government personnel.
