PFL Africa: Johannesburg returns on August 9, 2025, with the second chapter of its groundbreaking debut season. Hosted at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena, the event features rising stars from across the continent—none more promising than the trio of Nigerian standouts eager to claim dominance on African MMA’s biggest stage.
In the main event, featherweight powerhouse Patrick Ocheme (6-1) takes on Guinea’s scrappy and well-rounded Mohamed Camara (5-2-1) in a can’t-miss showdown with major implications for the tournament bracket.
Nigeria’s Wasi Adeshina (7-3), known as “The Nigerian Jaguar,” brings his aggressive striking into a dangerous clash with Congo’s undefeated featherweight Jean-Jacques Lubaya (9-1). Expect fireworks when these two collide.
In the welterweight division, Nigerian prospect Kunle Lawal (2-1) faces a steep test against Cameroon’s unbeaten Awa Tamungang (5-0). Their alternate matchup could shake up the tournament picture.
This momentum follows PFL Africa’s Cape Town debut, where Nigeria’s own Juliet Ukah made history by defeating Ceileigh Niedermayr in the first official PFL Africa bout.
Also featured: Angola’s feared striker Shido Boris Esperanca (9-1) locks horns with Gambian veteran Ibrahima Mané (14-5) in a high-stakes co-main event.
With 32 fighters from 15 countries competing across four stacked divisions, PFL Africa is setting a new benchmark for African MMA promotions. Get your tickets now and witness history unfold in Johannesburg.
