Overview

  • Three World Tournament championships are being decided tonight at Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, with middleweight, heavyweight, and light heavyweight finals closing the 2025 season.
  • Fabian Edwards meets Dalton Rosta in the main event after respective tournament wins over Impa Kasanganay and Josh Silveira for Edwards, and Sadibou Sy and Aaron Jeffery for Rosta, with Edwards carrying extensive title-fight experience.
  • Heavyweights Alexander Romanov and Oleg Popov clash in the co-main event, with Romanov reaching the final after a June no-contest led judges to advance him and Popov returning to the stage a year after his 2024 final loss to Denis Goltsov.
  • Oleg Popov said during media day he expects a wrestling-heavy fight with Romanov and described their relationship as acquaintances rather than friends.
  • The late card opens with Sullivan Cauley vs. former PFL champion Antônio Carlos Jr. at light heavyweight, and the event airs on ESPN/ESPN+ in the U.S. following prelims on ESPN+; earlier August events crowned the other five division winners.
