Wilkinson will welcome Abraham
Bably to the light heavyweight division at
PFL San Diego.
The promotion confirmed the bout following an initial report from
Combat Evolved. PFL San Diego takes place at
Pechanga Arena in San Diego and is headlined by a featherweight
clash pitting A.J. McKee
against Salamat
Isbulaev.
Former Champs Collide
A two-time
UFC veteran, Wilkinson won the
PFL light heavyweight championship under the old season format
in 2022. After failing in drug test in relation to a bout against
Thiago
Santos in 2023, “Razor” has gone 2-3 in PFL competition. He has
lost his last three outings, including a first-round submission
defeat to Luke
Trainer in his most recent appearance at PFL Dubai on Feb.
7.
Bably, meanwhile, enjoyed a memorable run through the PFL Africa
heavyweight field in 2025, finishing Paul-Emmanuel
Gnaze, Joffie
Houlton and Justin
Clarke inside of a round. The 30-year-old Manchester Top Team
representative has finished six of his eight career triumphs via
knockout or technical knockout.
