Published

on


NEW YORK – The Professional Fighters League (PFL) will travel to Belgium on Saturday, May 23, for a major welterweight clash at the ING Arena in Brussels.

The main event will be the undefeated Belgium team Patrick Habirora (8-0) puts his perfect record on the line against the former UFC and WEC champion Benson Henderson (30-12). In this fight, one of the fastest developing players in Europe will face one of the most successful veterans of this sport.

Information about tickets and broadcasts

Pre-sale tickets for PFL Brussels will be available from Tuesday, March 3 at 12:00 CET, with general sales starting on Wednesday, March 4 at 12:00 CET at pfl.info/brussels.

The event will be broadcast live in the United States on the ESPN app for subscribers with access to the ESPN Unlimited plan, while fans in France will be able to follow the action on RMC Sport.

The undefeated Belgian striker faces his biggest challenge

Habirora, currently ranked No. 10 in the welterweight rankings, enters the fight with an impressive 8-0 professional record, including seven wins by KO or TKO. Known as “The Belgian Bomber,” he made a statement last December at the PFL Lyon Stadium, beating Kevin Jousset with a massive first-round knockout followed by relentless ground striking.

Now, competing in front of a home crowd in Brussels, Habirora will face the most formidable opponent of his teenage career. A victory over Henderson would significantly raise his welterweight status and solidify his reputation as one of Europe’s top elite prospects.

Henderson’s championship pedigree

Henderson brings nearly two decades of elite-level experience to the cage. Former UFC and WEC lightweight champion “Polished” has defeated top fighters including Nate Diaz, Frankie Edgar (twice) and Jorge Masvidal.

Most recently, Henderson continued to hone his skills in multiple combat sports, including grappling, karate, wrestling and boxing, before returning to MMA competition. The veteran is determined to prove that his experience, versatility and mastery continue to make him a earnest threat in the league.

Patricio Pitbull vs. Doo Ho Choi added to UFC 331 in Los Angeles

A featherweight clash between Patricio Pitbull and Doo Ho Choi is on for UFC 331 on Sept. 19; multiple people with knowledge of the situation confirmed the news to MMA Fighting.

The numbered event will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The promotion has yet to announce the headlining attraction for UFC 331.

Pitbull (37-9) attempts to rebound from a decision defeat to Aaron Pico in April, a result that dropped his UFC record to 1-2.

The Brazilian is a former two-division champion in Bellator, going 24-6 in that company before joining the UFC, and is currently ranked No. 15 on the MMA Fighting Global Rankings. Pitbull's lone UFC victory was a decision over Dan Ige.

Choi (17-4-1) won three straight since 2024, stopping Bill Algeo and Nate Landwehr that year before coming back to action this past May to score a knockout and earn a $50,000 check for a “Fight of the Night†win over Daniel Santos.

“The Korean Superboy†is a fan-favorite in the UFC with six bonuses cashed in 10 octagon appearances, including a UFC Hall of Fame war with Cub Swanson in 2016.
