The Professional Fighters League will start the PFL 2025 World Tournament on Thursday at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Winners in eight classes are set receive $500,000 and a championship belt.
PFL 2025 World Tournament First Round 1 sees the featherweight and welterweight brackets kick off the company’s latest rebrand. Several recognizable names populate the 145-pound weight class, from former PFL regular-season champions to top Bellator MMA contenders. Upon a deeper dive into the bracket, one name stands out above the others as the favorite to win it all. Not 2021 champion Movlid Khaybulaev, and not 2023 champion Jesus Pinedo.
