The Professional Fighters League's return to Europe is officially set following the PFL Brussels weigh-ins.

Headlining the Belgian event is a welterweight fight between mixed martial arts legend Benson Henderson and undefeated rising star Patrick Habirora. Both men had no issue making weight for the five-round main event. There was also one late adjustment to the card as Movsar Ibragimov will no longer face Youssouf Binate at bantamweight and will now take on Shane Campbell in a 140-pound catchweight fight.

Henderson (30-12) enters his latest fight at the age of 42. The former Bellator MMA, Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Extreme Cagefighting titleholder hasn't fought since his 2023 defeat to Usman Nurmagomedov. Prior to the setback, "Smooth" had shown he was still dangerous with wins over Peter Queally and Islam Mamedov. The MMA Lab product weighed 171 pounds on the dot for his first PFL fight.

An elite and undefeated welterweight prospect headlines PFL Brussels against a former UFC champ: Tune in Saturday, May 23 at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

The entire pro career of Habirora (8-0) has occurred since Henderson last fought. The 25-year-old is coming off a trio of PFL Europe wins, including a brutal knockout over Kevin Jousset. Seven of his eight victories have come from violent finishes, so "The Belgian Bomber" has definitely lived up to his nickname. Habirora weighed 170.9 for the biggest fight of his career.

PFL Brussels will air live on ESPN+ on Saturday. The main card starts at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT, while the early card starts at 12:30 p.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT.
