Boston Salmon (8-3) discusses his featherweight fight against Sheymon Moraes (13-5) at PFL 2022 #2 on Apr. 28. Boston also talks about being released from the UFC, switching management groups and how he’s found new life in his career competing up a weight class in the featherweight division.

The event is set to take place at Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“It’s the biggest advantage I have at 145-pounds,” Salmon said. “Nobody ever saw the struggles I had at 135-pounds. You’ll see the best of me at 145-pounds, all cylinders fired. A lot of the fighters today struggle to make that weight. I just don’t have that mental tax on me anymore. I wasn’t able to perform at 135-pounds.”
