Mirela Vargas aims to defeat boxing champion Savannah Marshall at PFL Europe 2

In a highly anticipated matchup, Mirela Vargas is ready to take on boxing sensation Savannah Marshall in her MMA debut at the PFL Europe 2 event in Newcastle, England this Saturday. Marshall, the undisputed super middleweight champion in boxing, holds multiple titles and boasts an impressive record of 13-1, with her only loss coming against Claressa Shields.

Vargas, on the other hand, may only have a 1-2 record in MMA, but she is confident in her grappling skills and believes she can outmatch Marshall in that department. With a background in Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu, Vargas has honed her skills in various competitions in Brazil and Europe, making her a formidable opponent for Marshall.

“I won’t let her do her thing,” Vargas stated confidently. “I will force her to use her strength and grapple hard on the ground. It makes a huge difference, and I’m ready for this.”

Despite moving up in weight for the catchweight bout, Vargas is determined to secure a finish and not leave the fight in the hands of the judges. Her ultimate goal is to compete in a lightweight season for PFL in 2025 and chase the dream of holding the million-dollar check.

“Fighting for PFL was my dream,” Vargas revealed. “I want to hold that big check, and I was very emotional when I signed with them. I want to be the main event and show the world what I’m capable of.”
