The PFL's 2021 Heavyweight champion Bruno Capelozza (15-5) has gone undefeated in five fights since signing to the promotion after facing current UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Jiri Prochazka.

Scheffel (15-8) is an always game knockout artist looking to rebound from a recent defeat in his PFL debut in the biggest fight of his life. Boasting seven first round KO's, he is a dangerous fight for anyone in the Heavyweight division.

As dangerous as he is though, the Verdict Community doesn't see the fight ending well for him, with over 85% predicting Bruno to win, most popularly by 1st round KO.

Anthony Pettis vs. Stevie Ray

There isn't enough that can be said about the former UFC and WEC Lightweight champion Anthony 'Showtime' Pettis (25-12).
