Wiz Khalifa is a big supporter of Claressa Shields ’ transition from boxing to fighting MMA for the PFL. As a member of the ownership group for the budding organization, the award-winning recording artist Khalifa keeps a close eye on the operations of the company and thinks the brand is the next big thing in MMA.

He’ll be watching Shields closely when she makes her debut on Thursday at 2021 PFL 6 against Brittney Elkin, and praised her courage for doing something few others have ever attempted.
