The PFL Brussels fight card is officially set, with an explosive lineup scheduled for Saturday, May 23 at the ING Arena in Brussels, Belgium. The event will showcase a mix of rising European talents and established MMA veterans in what promises to be a high-stakes night inside the cage.

Habirora enters the bout with an 8-0 record and looks to deliver another statement performance in front of a home crowd. Henderson, meanwhile, brings a wealth of experience with 42 professional fights and aims to spoil the momentum of the surging Belgian prospect.

Co-main event adds intrigue to stacked lineup

The co-main event will feature Taylor Lapilus against Jake Hadley in a bantamweight clash that pits momentum against unpredictability. Lapilus enters the fight riding a five-fight winning streak, highlighted by a recent knockout victory.

Hadley, known for his submission skills, gained attention for securing a rare Scottish Twister finish and will look to derail Lapilus’ run. The stylistic contrast between striking and grappling adds another layer of intrigue to the matchup.

Also featured on the card is Khamzat Abaev, who is seeking redemption after suffering his first professional loss in his PFL debut. He will face Luca Poclit in a welterweight contest, with both fighters aiming to reestablish momentum.
