Undefeated two-time PFL women's lightweight champion Kayla Harrison's first fight of 2022 will headline PFL 3 on May 6 at the ESports Stadium in Arlington, Texas as she takes on Marina Mokhnatkina.
The promotion officially announced the news via the following tweet, also revealing the rest of the lineup for the May 6 event. This comes on the heels of Harrison signing a new multi-year deal with the PFL earlier last month. She defeated Taylor Guardado in the 2021 PFL Women's Lightweight Tournament Finals via second-round submission in her latest appearance last October. Mokhnatkina meanwhile is coming off of a unanimous decision victory over Claudia Zamora back at PFL 8 last August in what was her promotional and lightweight debut.

Also on the card, two-time PFL welterweight champion Ray Cooper III will take on undefeated contender Magomed Umalatov in the night's co-headliner. Additionally featured on the main card will be former UFC lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis, looking to get his first victory inside of the PFL cage against Irishman Myles Price, with former Bellator welterweight champion, Rory MacDonald, trying to avoid a three-fight losing streak when he faces longtime veteran Brett Cooper in the main card opener.
