Jordan Young thankful for extra time before PFL debut, ready to flip the switch upon return

BAD MMA News — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 22:39:48 +0000

Newly signed PFL light heavyweight Jordan Young isn’t letting the promotion’s self-imposed COVID-19 hiatus frustrate him. In fact, he says it’s only going to benefit him when he starts the long run-up to his promotional debut. Former Bellator athlete Young (11-1) was all set to make his debut in the PFL’s 2020 light heavyweight season, but the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the promotion scrapping this year’s season and placing their roster on hiatus until competition resumes in 2021. But while some members of the PFL roster have expressed frustration at the enforced time on the sidelines, Young isn’t too upset by it.

As Jordan Young looks ahead to the next chapter of his career with PFL, he has mixed feelings about his time with Bellator. Young (11-1) spent the past three years and seven fights under the Bellator banner. He looked to be a major prospect, winning his first six bouts, including a stretch of five consecutive submission finishes. He stumbled in the final fight of his contract, though, and lost a decision to Julius Anglickas at Bellator 233 this past November.
