The news was reported by journalist Nolan King, indicating the signing is official.

This represents a significant career move for the Russian fighter as she joins one of the major MMA promotions outside the UFC.
Russian prospect Alexandra Savicheva has signed with the Professional Fighters League, according to a report from journalist Nolan King. The deal is official, though no details about her scheduled debut or which PFL season she will compete in have been announced.
Savicheva enters the PFL roster carrying a 7-2 professional record, making her one of the more accomplished signings the promotion has added to its women's divisions in recent memory. The Russian fighter's move to one of MMA's major global promotions marks a clear step up in the level of competition and exposure she will face going forward.
Why it matters
- The PFL operates a tournament-based format, meaning Savicheva could be competing for a significant prize purse depending on which season and division she enters.
- Her 7-2 record suggests she arrives as a seasoned prospect rather than a developmental signing, which may put her in contention quickly once her bracket is confirmed.
- The signing continues a pattern of PFL targeting fighters with strong records from international markets, deepening the roster outside the UFC pipeline.
