Dan Hardy became a staple of the Professional Fighters League in 2023, as he took over as a broadcast commentator, the head of fighter operations for PFL Europe and one of the company’s most prominent public figures. A new look ushers in the PFL’s latest campaign, with the promotion moving away from its regular-season points format and introducing the PFL 2025 World Tournament.

A total of 64 fighters are set to compete across eight different brackets: heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight and women’s flyweight. As a mixed martial artist who has firsthand experience in tournaments, Hardy pointed to it as his preferred setup.
