Lewis McGrillen-Evans made a bold claim that he would win the PFL Europe bantamweight tournament in 2024 and that the power in his left hand could not be matched. By picking up two wins via stoppage, including in the PFL Europe championship against Alexander Luster, McGrillen-Evans backed up his words and made an emphatic statement about his place in the Professional Fighters League.
After winning the PFL Europe title, there could have been an opportunity for McGrillen-Evans to join the company’s global roster. However, he weighed his options and chose to return to PFL Europe.
