PFL Africa 4 is a milestone night for African MMA
On December 20, 2025, the PFL plants its flag in Cotonou, Benin with PFL Africa 4: 2025 Finals—and it’s not being marketed like a normal show. This one is about crowning the first-ever PFL Africa champions, four belts on one card, and four $100,000 paydays that can change careers overnight.
For years, the continent’s best talent had to “make it” somewhere else. This time the spotlight is at home, under African lights, in front of an African crowd. The league’s $400,000 total championship purse is the loudest statement possible: this isn’t a side project, it’s a pipeline.
The Final Showdown: four championship fights, one shot each
At the top of the night, the finals cover bantamweight, featherweight, welterweight, and heavyweight. There’s no room for moral victories here—win the season, take the money, and step toward the wider PFL world.
