Main Event Preview

Gadzhi Rabadanov vs. Kevin Lee – Lightweight Semifinal

This matchup is a clash between legacy and resurgence. Gadzhi Rabadanov, the reigning 2024 PFL Lightweight World Champion, strides into the bout boasting an impressive 11-fight win streak, having ended his last three opponents via knockout. A product of Team Nurmagomedov, Rabadanov embodies the rigorous discipline of Dagestan along with a striking capability that can finish a fight in an instant.

 

On the other hand, we have Kevin Lee, the experienced UFC veteran also known as “The Motown Phenom.” Stepping in on short notice as an alternate, Lee isn't someone to overlook. Equipped with elite wrestling skills and powerful striking, he approaches this challenge with renewed purpose, labeling it as his final quest in the sport and expressing that he is more focused than ever before.
