Overview
- PFL announced Wednesday that it officially added 18 fighters to its roster, listing each signee by name and weight class.
- The class includes former UFC fighters Javid Basharat and Daniel Marcos, with several signees arriving from Dana White’s Contender Series and other international circuits.
- The additions cover nine weight classes and fighters from 14 countries, and PFL noted that six of the new signees enter undefeated.
- PFL CEO John Martin framed the move as part of an ongoing effort to grow and evolve the roster so the league can scout, match, and promote elite fighters.
- The signings are positioned to feed PFL’s upcoming televised events on ESPN and could intensify talent competition with the UFC while giving the newcomers clearer paths to higher‑profile fights and paydays.
