PFL World Tournament 2: Leandro Higo vs. Josh Rettinghouse: Fight card, date, start time, streaming, how to watch, venue, and more

The PFL World Tournament 2 fight card is set to be headlined by a highly anticipated fight between Leandro Higo and Josh Rettinghouse. The bantamweight tournament's first round match between Higo and Rettinghouse is considered to be a pivotal fight for both.

The event was initially expected to be headlined by a women's flyweight showdown between Taila Santos and Juliana Velasquez, but Santos' injury-induced withdrawal led to a card reshuffling. Magomed Magomedov was originally set to fight Leandro Higo. Nevertheless, the PFL ultimately booked Higo to take on Rettinghouse.

During a recent interview with MMA Junkie Radio, Rettinghouse indicated that he'd like to continue his MMA career, provided he keeps winning. However, a loss could potentially result in his retirement. The former TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) competitor suggested that he'd agreed with his wife that he'd likely retire if he loses:

“I keep telling her if I lose, I’m basically done ... I don’t think really feel like I can afford a loss at this point in my career, and so, you know, as long as I keep winning, we’ll see what happens.” [H/T MMA Junkie]

The PFL World Tournament 2 card also boasts various other intriguing matchups, all being contested either in the men's bantamweight or women's flyweight divisions.
