The Professional Fighters League (PFL) heads to the Southeast for one of its biggest events of the year — the PFL World Tournament Charlotte Finals, set for Friday, August 15 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. The stacked card features three five-round championship bouts in the Lightweight, Bantamweight, and Women’s Flyweight divisions, with gold and glory on the line for six of the sport’s most dangerous fighters.

Lightweight clash headlines championship triple-header

In the main event, 2024 PFL Lightweight Champion Gadzhi Rabadanov (26-4-2) defends his crown against England’s explosive striker Alfie Davis (19-5-1). Known for his technical power and finishing instinct, Rabadanov will look to stifle the creative striking of Davis in what promises to be a tactical war.

Meanwhile, the Bantamweight Final pits Brazilian brawler Marcirley Alves (14-4) against American dark horse Justin Wetzell (12-2). Both fighters entered the tournament as alternates and now find themselves within one win of claiming the PFL title.

The Women’s Flyweight Final features a compelling grappler’s showdown between veteran Liz Carmouche (24-8), a former Bellator Champion, and rising submission ace Jena Bishop (9-2), who has surged to the finals with a dominant ground game.

Burnell, Velasquez among highlights in showcase bouts

The Main Card also includes a Lightweight feature between former UFC and Bellator contender Mads Burnell (20-7) and regional standout Robert Watley (15-3).

The Early Card begins at 6:30 pm ET and includes five showcase bouts. Former Bellator Women’s Flyweight Champion Juliana Velasquez (13-4) returns to action against Ukraine’s Ekaterina Shakalova (9-3), while Biaggio Ali Walsh, grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali, is slated to compete against an opponent to be announced.

Also featured are Women’s Flyweight matchups: Sabrina De Sousa (3-0) vs Saray Orosco (8-7), Chelsea Hackett (4-3-1) vs Ashley Thiner (1-0), and a Bantamweight bout between Renat Khavalov (9-0) and Vilson Ndregjoni (11-4).
