Patrice Evra is swapping out the soccer cleats for MMA gloves.
Promotional officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that French National Soccer Team and Manchester United captain has signed a deal with the PFL to compete in mixed martial arts. Evra makes his amateur debut at the PFL’s May 23 at Accor Arena in France.
No opponent has been named for Evra in his fighting debut.
The 43-year-old accomplished a lot on the soccer field, including being named to the PFA Team of the Year on three separate occasions. Evra played on the world-renowned Manchester United team for nearly a decade between 2005 to 2014.
Evra has been training alongside France MMA star Cedric Doumbe as he prepares to make the switch over to the PFL Smart Cage.
The event is set to be headlined by a matchup between Mansour Barnaoui and Archie Colgan in a lightweight clash, while former UFC fighter Taylor Lapilus will compete against Ali Taleb.
