The PFL World Tournament Atlantic City Finals returns to the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall on Friday, August 1, promising another electrifying night of elite MMA action. Fans in New Jersey and across the globe will witness two championship clashes, featuring unbeaten stars and former PFL titleholders.
Championship double-header tops stacked Atlantic City card
In the Welterweight Tournament Final, undefeated Thad Jean (10-0) faces the toughest test of his career against former Bellator Interim Champion Logan Storley (18-3). Jean’s explosive striking will meet Storley’s seasoned grappling in what promises to be a high-paced title main event.
The co-main event brings together two of the best featherweights in PFL history. 2023 champion Jesus Pinedo (25-6-1) and undefeated 2021 titlist Movlid Khaybulaev (23-0-1, 1 NC) clash for divisional supremacy and a championship title. Both bouts are scheduled for five rounds, with over $20 million in prize money at stake.

Showcase matchups highlight international prospects
Two exciting showcase bouts round out the Main Card. Algerian featherweight Asaël Adjoudj (9-1) squares off with French veteran Yves Landu (21-9), while undefeated American prospect Jordan Newman (7-0) meets Egypt’s Eslam Abdul Baset (16-3) in a Middleweight showcase.
