PFL 4 main event features heavyweights Valentin Moldavsky (13-3-1) vs. Linton Vassell (23-9-0), with Moldavsky favored at -360. The action begins on Thursday night, June 13, at 9:00 PM ET at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Moldavsky was once the Bellator interim heavyweight champ at Bellator 261 before losing the unification battle to Ryan Bader, who dominated him for 25 minutes. However, he has since landed a record of 2-1-1.
In his latest bout, he secured two consecutive victories, the most recent being a first-round knockout against former PFL heavyweight champion Ante Delija. In his upcoming fight, he aims to avenge his previous loss to Linton Vassell in this trilogy fight and to land a spot in the PFL playoffs.
Even though Moldavsky is not one of the heaviest fighters in the PFL, he makes up for it with his technical prowess. His movement and powerful striking give him an edge in this tournament.
As Vassell put their last fight on the ground, Moldavsky must keep his distance and the fight standing. If he can force Vassell to work harder, defend against aggressive takedowns, and emphasize his striking output, he could land another excellent finish and move on to the PFL playoffs.
Vassell had a Bellator heavyweight title fight opportunity not too long ago, but Bellator was sold to PFL, and the battle did not make its way to the calendar. In that timeframe, he gathered a five-fight win streak, including a win over interim champion Moldavsky.
In his debut in PFL, it did not go according to plan. He lost to PFL heavyweight finalist Denis Goltsov by a third-round TKO. This was concerning since he was doing well in the first half of the fight but appeared to be gassed down the stretch, which ultimately led to his demise.
Another win over Moldavsky would land him a spot in the PFL playoffs. With his size advantage, he can control this fight and wear down his opponent.
