The PFL announced the eight featherweights slated to compete for $500,000, along with two other fighters looking to step in if needed.
Past featherweight season winners Jesus Pinedo and Movlid Khaybulaev will be joined by Gabriel Braga, past Bellator title challengers Adam Borics and Jeremy Kennedy, along with Nathan Kelly, Yves Landu, and Brave CF and UAE Warriors veteran Tae Kyun Kim.
New England standout Nathan Ghareeb (10-3) and Canada’s Frederick Dupas (8-1) will serve as alternates.
The tournament is set to start on April 3 at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., with the winner receiving a $500,000 prize in addition to 2025 champion status.
Pinedo returns to the PFL cage for the first time since winning the 2023 PFL featherweight season. The 28-year-old was slated to face Patricio Pitbull at PFL vs. Bellator a year ago before withdrawing due to injury, and was then booked against Jeremy Kennedy at the 2024 World Championship card in November before badly missing weight, leading to the bout being cancelled.
