Ex-Manchester United Star Patrice Evra Breaks Silence on Signing With PFL For Shocking MMA Debut

In a surprising turn of events, Manchester United and France legend Patrice Evra is set to make his MMA debut on the PFL Europe card in Paris on May 23. To be fair, the Champions League winner has been training in MMA with PFL knockout artists, Cedric Doumbe, since 2016 and was set to make his boxing debut back in 2022 against YouTuber Adam Saleh, but that fight fell through.

What is even more interesting is who Evra wants to fight. While he has left the decision up to the PFL, the legendary left-back wants to fight Luis Suarez, who was found guilty of racially abusing him during a Man United vs. Liverpool clash over a decade ago.

“BREAKING: I’m officially training for my first fight with @PFLEurope. They will pick my opponent… They asked who I wanna face. I said: Luis Suárez. I’ll pay out of pocket. He can even bite me.” Evra announced on X.
