What's at stake
The PFL crowns its first bantamweight (135 lb) world champion. Taylor Lapilus (25-4), ranked number 3 in the promotion, fights at home against number 1 Mitch McKee (11-0). A UFC veteran who went 6-2 over two stints, the Frenchman is on a six-fight winning streak, including his first four PFL bouts; the latest was a unanimous decision over Jake Hadley. McKee, who built his record mainly in LFA, upset Sergio Pettis on his PFL debut in March.
It is also the last show under the PFL name: from 1 January 2027 the promotion folds into Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the company co-founded by Jake Paul.
