PFL middleweights are back.
On Tuesday, the league announced the eight-man field for its first 185-pound tournament since 2018. Among the standouts taking place in the 2025 tournament are 2023 light heavyweight champion Impa Kasanganay (18-5) and 2022 welterweight champion Sadibou Sy (17-8-2, 1 NC).
Kasanganay and Sy both won $1 million prizes for their past tournament wins and now seek to add to their riches with a 2025 tournament crown and a $500,000 prize.
Joining them in the field are two-time Bellator title challenger Fabian Edwards (13-4), 2023 PFL light heavyweight tournament finalist Josh Silveira (13-4), Bellator veterans Aaron Jeffery (15-5), Dalton Rosta (9-1), and Mike Shipman (17-4), and recent PFL competitor Murad Ramazanov (12-2).
Louis Taylor was the winner of the inaugural 185-pound tournament in 2018, but the division has been discontinued since then.
The middleweight tournament kicks off on April 18, airing live on ESPN and ESPN+.
