PFL Europe is kicking off 2025 with a trip to Belfast on Saturday 10th May, headlined by lightweight superstar Paul Hughes!

Hughes will fulfil a lifelong dream to main event at The SSE Arena, Belfast’s iconic venue situated a stone’s throw away from his gym, and promises his fans a spectacle.  

At 27 years of age, Hughes accomplished everything possible on the regional stage before entering free agency, where he was pursued by every major mixed martial arts promotion on the planet before choosing to join PFL. A former Cage Warriors Featherweight Champion before moving up to Lightweight, Hughes has shown his world class level by defeating former Featherweight Champion AJ McKee in October 2024, and narrowly losing a majority decision to current Lightweight Champion Usman Nurmagomedov in a critically acclaimed ‘fight of the year’ contender.

“All my career I’ve said I will main event The SSE Arena, and we’ve made my dream into a reality. Belfast, I’m coming to put on a show for my people, and I will show you how much your support means to me. It’s time to get to work.” - Paul Hughes. 

The PFL is bringing a stacked fight card, all-action entertainment and a great night out to the city and we want you to join us! Tickets are on general sale this Wednesday 12th March from 10AM here
