The Professional Fighters League will stage PFL Lyon on December 13 at the LDLC Arena in France, with the event streaming exclusively on the ESPN App for U.S. viewers who have access to the ESPN Unlimited plan. The broadcast begins at 11 a.m. EST, showcasing two world championship matchups at the top of the card.

Vadim Nemkov will put the PFL World Heavyweight Title on the line in the main event against Brazilian knockout artist Renan Ferreira. Nemkov enters with an 18-2 record and training pedigree under MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko, while Ferreira brings a 13-4 slate and a penchant for finishes. Both competitors own a finish rate above 75 percent, setting expectations for a high-impact championship clash.

Cyborg returns as Collins looks to stay unbeaten

In the co-main event, Cris Cyborg makes her first professional MMA appearance in Europe as she seeks to secure the PFL Women’s World Featherweight Title. The global icon holds a 28-2 record and meets undefeated contender Sara Collins, who stands at 6-0 following a dominant submission win over Leah McCourt. Collins aims to continue her rise by handing Cyborg a rare defeat.

Belgium’s Patrick Habirora takes on French judoka Kevin Jousset in a featured welterweight matchup. Habirora carries a perfect 7-0 record with six finishes, fresh off a head-kick knockout in Belgium earlier this year. Jousset, a 10-4 2nd Dan black belt in judo and former two-division champion, intends to halt the Belgian prospect’s momentum and showcase elite grappling experience.
