Rkena vs PFL start times and how to watch Abramishvili vs McKenzie

Rkena vs PFL puts 15 fights on at the Tbilisi Sport Palace in Tbilisi, Georgia, on Saturday, October 17. No titles are on the line, but the welterweight main event is booked for five rounds, and the home side is out in force: nine Georgians are on the card, against opponents from the United States, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, England, Brazil, Iran and beyond. It is the fourth Rkena Fighting Championship card in our records, and the first co-branded with the PFL.

Georgia's Nikoloz Abramishvili (9-3) headlines against American Aaron McKenzie (12-2-1). Abramishvili is 2-0 under the Rkena banner, with a TKO of Henri Lintula at Rkena FC 1 and a split decision over James Llontop at Rkena FC 2. McKenzie has not lost since February 2020; he was booked for PFL Washington DC in July, but that bout fell through. In the co-main, Kazakhstan's Bekzat Almakhan (12-4) meets Sierra Leone's Abdul Kamara (11-2) at bantamweight. Almakhan arrives off a unanimous-decision loss in the UFC in June.
