Bracketology: PFL 2025 Lightweight, Middleweight World Tournaments

The third event of the Professional Fighters League’s World Tournament first round took place on Friday night in Orlando with the middleweight and lightweight brackets taking center stage. For the first time since 2018, the PFL brought back the middleweight division, which saw multiple fighters move down from light heavyweight to their natural fit at 185, and the fights delivered.

Both brackets were highlighted as two of the most intriguing and entertaining across all eight weight divisions, and it saw several former title challengers and champions from PFL’s past when it hosted a season format.
