The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has confirmed the full lineup for PFL Europe Brussels, set for July 5 at ING Arena, with Belgian rising star Patrick “The Belgian Bomber” Habirora set to headline his first main event against English UFC veteran Danny “Hot Chocolate” Roberts.
Habirora (6-0), a fan favorite from Brussels’ Team Sendo, will look to extend his undefeated streak in front of a home crowd. The 24-year-old has secured five of his six wins by knockout. He now faces the biggest test of his career in Roberts (18-8), who brings experience from 14 UFC bouts and 13 career finishes.
In the co-main event, former UFC fighter Taylor Lapilus (21-4) will meet PFL MENA Bantamweight Champion Ali Taleb (12-1) in a pivotal bantamweight showdown. Lapilus has won eight of his last nine, while Taleb looks to continue his dominant rise.
Belgian prospect Movsar Ibragimov (6-0), a former IMMAF bantamweight champion, has been added to the card. He will face Dutch finisher Gerardo Fanny (14-5), known for his aggressive style and knockout power.
The event will also feature the first round of the 2025 PFL Europe Bantamweight Tournament, with eight fighters from six European nations vying for a $100,000 prize and a shot at the PFL Championship.
PFL Europe Brussels will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN in Belgium, France, the UK, and Ireland, and on the PFL app in the U.S.
