July 8th sees the return of one of UK’s biggest prospects Lewis McGrillen at PFL Europe 2.
Last time we saw McGrillen was back in March on route to dismantling Salih Kulucan in Newcastle for PFL Europe 1.
McGrillen has received some huge plaudits from UK royalty and PFL Europe director of fighter operations Dan Hardy.
Dan Hardy, Director of Fighter Operations of PFL Europe: “We are very excited to bring Lewis McGrillen into the PFL Europe family and watch him develop into the star that his trajectory predicts.
There has been a lot of buzz around him since his amateur days, and after his break out performance in Newcastle, we can see why.
“He is a young, powerful, and confident fighter, undefeated and right at the beginning of his promising journey.
There is no doubt that his presence on any PFL Europe event will bring an intensity and excitement that will follow McGrillen throughout his career.”
We caught up with McGrillen ahead of his bout where he let us into his mindset leading into PFL Europe 2.
