McGrillen-Evans (13-2) enters the matchup looking to build a
winning streak. The

PFL Charlotte, where he earned a unanimous decision over
Brandon
Lewis to rebound from his defeat to Rafael
do Nascimento.
The 25-year-old bantamweight has established himself as a notable
name in the PFL’s European circuit, with wins over Dean
Garnett, Alexander
Luster and Alan
Philpott.
Meanwhile, Abzakh (15-6) enters the contest riding a three-fight
winning streak. The Jordanian fighter secured the PFL MENA
bantamweight championship in December 2025 by submitting Islam
Youssef with a guillotine choke in 36 seconds.
