Main event: Bryan Battle​

• Record: 12-3
• Opponent: Dalton Rosta (11-3)
• Division: Middleweight
• Key wins: Randy Brown, Kevin Jousset, Gilbert Urbina
• Misc: After a 7-1 run in the UFC that saw him win Season 29 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Battle got the boot from the promotion when he botched another weight cut and had a fight canceled because of it. He signed with the PFL for a quick headliner against ex-champ Johnny Eblen and was submitted in the first round in March. Now he has a second chance.

• Record: 11-3
• Opponent: Bryan Battle (12-3)
• Division: Middleweight
• Key wins: Aaron Jeffery, Sadibou Sy
• Misc: Rosta is working off back-to-back losses for the first time in his career. He was knocked out in the 2025 tournament final by a Fabian Edwards head kick, and in March he lost to ex-champ Impa Kasanganay with a first-round TKO.

Co-main event: Simeon Powell​

• Record: 12-2
• Opponent: Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov (26-8-1)
• Division: Light heavyweight
• Key wins: Emiliano Sordi, Karl Albrektsson
• Misc: Powell is working off a third-round knockout of Sordi at PFL Sioux Falls in May and was set to return last week in New York against Yagshimuradov until he wasn’t cleared by the commission. That pushed the fight to this week, instead.

Co-main event: Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov​

• Record: 26-8-1
• Opponent: Simeon Powell (12-2)
• Division: Light heavyweight
• Key wins: Tyson Pedro, Impa Kasanganay, Rob Wilkinson, Rafael Carvalho
• Misc: Yagshimuradov knocked out Kasanganay to win the 2024 PFL tournament, but his follow-up against ex-UFC standout Corey Anderson sent him back to the loss column for the first time in five years. He bounced back in Belfast earlier this year with a decision over Pedro and was set to return against Powell last week until Powell wasn’t cleared by the commission – which pushed the fight to Charlotte.
