In what will be his second match of 2026 after just four months, Battle is seeking to achieve his first win in the promotion after losing to 185-lb standout Johnny Eblen this past March. Eager to headline his second major card in a row, “The Butcher” wants nothing more than to get back on track and establish himself as a bonafide threat in the division.

Training out of the famed American Top Team Rosta has defeated some of the top fighters in his weight class under the Bellator and PFL banners, with his most impressive victory coming against former title-holder Sadibou Sy. Suffering from a two-bout losing streak, “Hercules” is on a mission to play spoiler for the popular Battle.

Winning four straight fights in 2024, Yagshimuradov shocked fans around the world by starching Impa Kasanganay to win the 2024 PFL Light Heavyweight Tournament. Scoring a dominant decision over UFC veteran Tyson Pedro, “Wolfhound” bares his teeth at his latest prey in the form of Powell.

3-1 in his last four contests, Powell has looked to be a sterling knockout artist in the 205-lb class, netting an amazing stoppage over Emiliano Sordi this past PFL Sioux Falls. Going up against arguably the toughest test of his career so far, “Smooth” takes aim at greatness by toppling the heavy-handed Yagshimuradov.
