Coming off a Professional Fighters League championship run in 2024, Gadzhi Rabadanov wanted to make sure he cemented himself among the best lightweights in the sport without regard to promotion. There was no better stage for him to do so than the PFL 2025 World Tournament, and he now finds himself in position to repeat.
Rabadanov meets Bellator MMA veteran Alfie Davis when their lightweight final headlines PFL 2025 World Tournament 9 this Friday at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. He punched his ticket to the 155-pound championship with a first-round technical knockout of Kevin Lee on June 20.
