The Professional Fighters League is hosting the 2024 PFL Finals on November 29 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The card plays host to 10 championship bouts, six global championship fights and four in the MENA category. With so many match-ups with high stakes it's no wonder a non-title fighter is going under the radar.
2023 champion Jesus Pinedo is a fighter on this card that fans should not miss.
Last season Pinedo was a breakout star, knocking out the 2022 champion Brendan Loughnane and eliminating him from the season. He'd go on to dominate throughout and won the 2023 featherweight title and the hearts of the PFL fans.

But after he was forced to withdraw from the PFL vs. Bellator event in February, he had not been seen since.
Now he makes his triumphant return when he faces Jeremy Kennedy on the early prelims of the card. His placement on the line-up shouldn't be seen as an indication to his star power, instead an unfortunate side effect of returning on a card with 10 title fights.
It will be interesting to see if the long layoff will affect his performance or if he can continue on the winning streak where it left off and perhaps even challenge Loughnane to a rematch if both of their fights go their way this week.
