After years of being one of the most popular regional MMA fighters of all time, Sammy-Jo Luxton has finally confirmed her PFL debut will be on the next PFL Europe card on June 8.
The PFL announced the addition of the fan-favorite English striker on social media on April 5, declaring that the former Muay Thai competitor would be a part of the next PFL Europe event in Newcastle. The event will feature eight women's flyweight fighters in a tournament format.
At the time of the announcement, Luxton joined Shanelle Dyer as the only two fighters confirmed.
Just minutes after the PFL Europe X account posted the announcement, Luxton gave her reaction with a quote tweet of the post. In three words, Luxton posted:
"DOUBT ME NOW 🏆🤝🏻"
With just a 2-0 record, Luxton made her professional MMA debut in 2023 and has won both of her fights in a combined 26 seconds. The fighter's combat sports success and aesthetic appearance have led to her already accumulating over 100,000 followers on Instagram.
As the PFL mentioned in the announcement tweet, Luxton already has a victory over Dyer in Muay Thai, picking up a split decision win at Roar Combat League 14.
