Stunning MMA star Amber Leibrock stares down rival in tense face-off ahead of debut in PFL’s $1m winner-take-all season
MMA star Amber Leibrock had her eyes on the prize as she cut a mean look ahead of her Professional Fighters League debut.
The American is one of the eight featherweight contenders in this season’s PFL campaign.
Leibrock, 35, faces Czech Republic’s Martina Jindrova, 32, on Friday night and the pair came face-to-face for a tense stare down.
The two locked eyes before both stepping towards each other, with Jindrova the first to break.
And fans were quick to back Leibrock as one said: “Let’s goooo.”
Another added: “Girl lets go!!!”
Jindrova returns for her second PFL season, while Leibrock is a first timer.
The PFL is MMA’s only seasonal format, which consists of qualifying and knockout stages.
Points are earned per method of victory in the opening two bouts with the top four in each weight progressing into the semi-finals.
From there, it is victory-or-go-home culminating in a winner-take-all finale fight where a title belt and $1million cheque lays in wait.

Jindrova made it into the semis last year but was beaten by two-time Olympic judo and PFL champion Kayla Harrison, 32.
Leibrock is 6-4 in her career having also fought for Bellator and Invicta FC.
She is currently on a three-fight win streak, last beating Morgan Frier, 32, last July by submission.
