The Professional Fighters League made a surprise announcement ahead of the 2025 PFL World Tournament 6: Semifinals set for June 20 at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Former UFC Title Challenger Kevin Lee has officially signed with the PFL and will replace Jay-Jay Wilson in the Lightweight Semifinal.

Lee steps into the main event to face 2024 PFL Lightweight Champion Gadzhi Rabadanov, with a shot at the 2025 title still on the line. Despite not competing in the tournament’s opening round, Lee is an authorized alternate and remains eligible to claim the championship.

The stacked main card also features a Women’s Flyweight Semifinal between Liz Carmouche and undefeated sensation Elora Dana. In the Bantamweight division, Jake Hadley collides with Marcirley Alves, while Mando Gutierrez and Justin Wetzell face off in a high-stakes grudge match.

These win-or-go-home Semifinal bouts will determine who advances to the PFL World Tournament Finals in August. With over $20 million in prize money up for grabs and new elbow rules in place, every fight now carries even more intensity.

The Early Card delivers more action with Brent Primus taking on Alfie Davis and Jena Bishop meeting Ekaterina Shakalova in Women’s Flyweight. Bantamweight and Lightweight alternates, as well as multiple showcase bouts, will further highlight the depth of PFL’s talent pool.

The entire 2025 PFL World Tournament airs on ESPN platforms in the U.S., on DAZN across Europe and Canada, and through 20 global broadcast partners in 190 countries. Tickets for the Wichita event start at just $40 and are available now via selectaseat.com/pfl.
