Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra will make his MMA debut next month(Image: PFL)

Patrice Evra has challenged Luis Suarez to an MMA fight after it was announced that the former Manchester United defender was set to step into the cage next month with the Professional Fighters League (PFL).

Evra has been training since 2016 with longtime friend Cedric Doumbe, who competes in the PFL's welterweight division and has a 6-1 record, having transitioned to MMA from kickboxing in 2021.

Evra is set to make his MMA debut at PFL Europe Paris on May 23 and he has called out Suarez for a fight 13 years after the former Liverpool striker was given an eight-game ban for racially abusing him.

And Evra also made reference to Suarez being involved in three separate biting incidents throughout his career in a post on social media.

"BREAKING: I'm officially training for my first fight with @PFLEurope," Evra wrote.

"They will pick my opponent...

I said: Luis Suarez.

We're incredibly excited to have the superstar that is Patrice Evra fight under the PFL banner, as we're all about exciting match-ups and making history.

"I can't tell you how excited Patrice has been putting this together, but I think you're going to see it at the Accor Arena.

Paris, we're coming to put on another historic evening of MMA, don't miss out."

Evra was set to have a boxing fight back in 2022 after he was announced as part of the undercard for Martyn Ford's scheduled fight against Iranian Hulk, with the 43-year-old scheduled to fight social media star Adam Saleh.
