The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is set to host its first-ever global mixed martial arts (MMA) event in Africa on July 19, 2025, at the Grand Arena, GrandWest in Cape Town, South Africa. The event will feature a double fight card combining the PFL Africa League and the PFL Champion Series. Key matchups include Dakota, making her return to the PFL SmartCage against Sumiko Inaba, and Johnny Eblen defending the PFL Middleweight World Title against Costello Van Steenis. Other notable fights include Corey Anderson facing Denis Goltsov in a heavyweight bout and local fighter Nkosi Ndebele competing on the card. The event marks a historic milestone as the PFL expands its global footprint into Africa. In the United States, the PFL Champion Series portion of the event will be streamed live and exclusively on ESPN+, while the PFL Cape Town segment will be available live and free on the PFL app. The PFL is aiming to maximize viewership by selling broadcast rights across multiple markets, with ESPN reportedly investing additional funds, particularly for Dakota's fights.
