For the first time in the promotion's history, the PFL will include a bantamweight division for their 2025 World Tournament - and the full roster for the 135lb weight class has now been revealed.

Included will be former Bellator MMA title challenger Magomed Magomedov, as well as his Bellator compatriot, Brazil's Leandro Higo. PFL MENA champ Ali Taleb will be moving up to the PFL Global ranks to take part in the world tournament, while England's Jake Hadley joins the promotion after a short stint in the UFC. Hadley's involvement was first reported by MMA Mania.

Interestingly enough, the PFL's Bantamweight World Tournament will consist entirely of fighters sourced outside of North Amercia, as there is not a single American, Canadian, or Mexican fighter in the bunch.

The tournament roster includes:

The tournament alternates for the PFL's bantamweight division will be Italy's Francesco Nuzzi (10-1) Brazilian Matheus Mattos (14-3-1).

PFL officials confirmed the full roster in a press release issued on Friday. That release also included the names of the alternates for the women's flyweight tournament, the main roster of which was previously announced. Serving as alternates for that weight class will be Ukraine's Ekaterina Shakalova (8-2) and Mexico's Saray Orozco (8-6).
