The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has officially revealed the roster for its highly anticipated 2025 Bantamweight World Tournament. With a grand prize of $500,000 on the line, the tournament will feature an impressive mix of international fighters, including former UFC talent Jake Hadley.

Hadley, a recent UFC competitor, has joined the PFL ranks after a challenging stint in the promotion. The British fighter made a splash on the UFC’s Contender Series in 2021 with a submission win over Mitch Raposo. Despite earning a UFC contract, Hadley struggled to find consistency in the octagon, securing just three wins in seven appearances. His UFC tenure ended on a low note, with three losses in his final four fights, including a setback to Cameron Smotherman in October 2024. Now, Hadley looks to bounce back and claim the PFL title at 135 pounds.

The bantamweight field also includes notable international talent such as former Bellator title challenger Magomed Magomedov, who narrowly lost a controversial decision to Patchy Mix at Bellator Paris in May 2024. Magomedov, with a record of 24-4, will be a strong contender in the 2025 Bantamweight World Tournament. Alongside him is Leandro Higo, a seasoned Bellator veteran with a record of 23-6.

Undefeated fighters Sarvarjon Khamidov (16-0) and Ciaran Clarke (10-0) will be looking to maintain their perfect records, while others like Ali Taleb, Kasum Kasumov, and Zebenzui Ruiz add further depth to the field.

Alternates Francesco Nuzzi (10-1) and Matheus Mattos (14-3-1) will also be on standby, ready to step in if necessary. With such a stacked roster, the 2025 PFL Bantamweight World Tournament is shaping up to be an exciting and competitive affair.
