The Semifinals for the 2025 PFL World Tournament continue tonight in Wichita, Kansas! This week’s PFL card will feature the semifinal matchups for the Bantamweight, Lightweight, and Women’s Flyweight divisions. Gadzhi Rabadanov will take on PFL debutant Kevin Lee in the Main Event of this card.
Rabadanov is 25-4-2 in his MMA career but is currently on an 11-fight win streak. He is coming off a knockout victory against Marc Diakiese, his third straight KO/TKO in a row. Rabadanov won the lightweight world championship in the 2024 season.
Lee, 32, competed in the UFC from 2014 to 2023 and last fought in September 2024. He submitted Thiago Oliveira in his previous bout. Throughout his career, Lee has faced former champions and stars including Tony Ferguson, Rafael Dos Anjos, and Charles Oliveira. Although Rabadanov doesn’t have as big of a name as those guys yet, he has a lot of potential and is a dangerous opponent.
Rabadanov is a massive -950 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook in this matchup, while Lee is the +625 underdog. But the line has shifted in Lee’s favor today as Rabadanov was a -2100 favorite on Thursday, and Lee was +1100.
Former Bellator Lightweight Champion Brent Primus is in his second year competing in the PFL. Rabadanov knocked out Primus in last year’s 2024 PFL World Championship. Since then, Primus submitted Vinicius Cenci in April. Primus is facing Alfie Davis, who knocked out Clay Collard this year. Primus is a -162 favorite with Davis +156.
