Tonight’s final leg of the PFL World Tournament semifinals commences from Wintrust Arena in Chicago, IL, featuring a nine-fight card.

PFL Semifinal Matchups

This week’s PFL offering brings together the middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight semifinals, as the winners in each division will advance to the August finals across several weeks around the country.

The main event has massive stakes, as Fabian Edwards meets Josh Silveira in one-half of the middleweight bracket. Edwards is the brother of former UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards, while Silveira has a legendary family lineage.

Elsewhere, the Edwards-Silveira winner will have already seen the rematch between Dalton Rosta and Aaron Jeffery. Jeffery handed Rosta his first defeat two years ago, and the bad blood couldn’t be any greater. Rosta predicts a second-round KO finish, whereas Jeffery expects the rematch to play out identically to the first meeting.

With middleweight sorted, light heavyweight is the next order of business. UFC veteran Phil Davis aims for a PFL title, but to get to the championship, he’ll have to beat Sullivan Cauley. Cauley is a teammate of longtime MMA veteran Ryan Bader, and like “Darth,” has heavy hands to go alongside a dangerous base. 

The Davis-Cauley winner will draw either Antonio Carlos Jr. or Simeon Powell to cap off the light heavyweight bracket.
