The lightweight field is official for
Professional Fighters League’s 2025 World Tournament.

The promotion announced the eight competitors and two alternates in
a release on Wednesday

The field is highlighted by Gadzhi
Rabadanov, who navigated his way through the old PFL season
format to capture a title at 155 pounds in 2024. Rabadanov scored
at third-round knockout of Brent
Primus, who will also be in the bracket, at the
PFL Championships this past November. The 31-year-old Dagestani
is in the midst of a 10-bout professional winning streak that dates
back to February 2021.

Fan favorite Clay
Collard is also part of the lightweight roster. The UFC veteran
with professional boxing experience reached the 2023 PFL final but
has lost four of his last five fights. Alexandr
Shabliy, who is coming off a loss to Usman
Nurmagomedov in a lightweight title bout at
Bellator Champions Series San Diego San Diego last September,
is another noteworthy addition to the lineup.

The 2025 PFL World Tournament will begin with events on April 3,
April 11, April 18 and May 1 at the backlot of Universal Studios
Florida in Orlando. The winner of each bracket will receive a
$500,000 bonus, and the tournament as a whole will provide payouts
of more than $20 million. Events will be broadcast on the family of
ESPN platforms in the United States.

Tournament matchups will be announced on March 11 as part of a
special bracket reveal show.
