The future of combat sports runs through the Professional Fighters League. In the U.S., the PFL regular season has come to an end. PFL Europe, a standalone regional league, continues with its second event on July 8/July 9.

PFL Europe 2 airs on DAZN in select countries (outside the U.S.) and emanates from Verti Music Hall in Berlin, Germany. The divisions featured include lightweights and bantamweights.

The main event will be Francesco Nuzzi vs. Farbod Iran Nezhad in bantamweight action. Nuzzi (9-1) turned pro in 2016. The Italian has competed for Italian Fighting Championship and BRAVE CF. His first fight with the PFL in 2022, against Moktar Benkaci, was deemed a no-contest due to an eye poke. That ended his 10-fight unbeaten streak.

Nezhad (11-2) turned pro in 2012. Competing for the likes of RFC, Swiss MMA Championship, and Brave CF, the fighter born in Germany is on a three-fight win streak. His last bout was a unanimous decision win in June 2022 against Darko Banovic.
