The PFL 5 mixed martial arts event for the 2019 season of the Professional Fighters League was held on July 25, 2019, at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This was the fifth regular season event of 2019 and include fights in the featherweight and lightweight divisions. [1]
Several bouts were changed due to three fighters - lightweights Ramsey Nijem and Carlao Silva and featherweight Gadzhi Rabadanov - missing their weight marks for their respective bouts with all three removed from the card. As a result, defending lightweight champion Natan Schulte, Nijem's original opponent, instead faced Jesse Ronson, Silva's original opponent. Daniel Pineda, Rabadanov's opponent, was awarded three points for a walkover victory.
