The Professional Fighters League’s heavyweight bracket will feature quite a few recognizable names, former Ultimate Fighting Championship competitor Alexander Romanov among them. A strong veteran presence anchors the eight-man draw, but at least one of the participants looks to make up for his lack of experience with talent: dark horse Abraham Bably.
The 29-year-old carries a 5-1 record into his PFL 2025 World Tournament 4 heavyweight quarterfinal opposite Rodrigo Nascimento on Thursday at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Bably has seen action in Bellator MMA and the PFL, with half of his career bouts having taken place in the two organizations.
