PFL Europe is gearing up for its second year by announcing the divisional lineups.
The Professional Fighters League has announced the first roster for one of the 2024 PFL Europe season brackets, with eight lightweights confirmed for the year ahead.
The second season is set to kick off on March 7 with a huge return to Paris, featuring Cédric Doumbé in the main event at the Accor Arena.
The first name added to the 155-pound lineup was last year’s winner Jakub Kaszuba, who maintained his undefeated record with wins over Maxim Radu, Dylan Tuke, and John Mitchell in the final.
Many expected that following his win, Kaszuba would be competing as part of the global roster, but he is now set to return and to try and become the first-ever two-time winner.
A couple of former Bellator fighters have also been added into the mix as a result of the PFL’s acquisition of the promotion and its entire roster last year.
Italy’s Daniele Scatizzi and England’s Kane Mousah both had their last six fights under the Bellator banner before making the switch over to PFL Europe.
Alex Chizov and Connor Hughes, meanwhile, will return for a second crack at the tournament after being eliminated in the inaugural season.
Also in the mix are France’s Yazid Chouchane, Spain’s Ignacio Capella, and Germany’s Anatolij Baal, who make up a multi-national eight-man bracket.
