As a result of the cancellation of an event on May 23, a bantamweight bout between UFC veteran Taylor Lapilus and 2024 PFL MENA bantamweight winner Ali Taleb served as co-main event.[5]

This event also featured the quarterfinal of the 2025 PFL Europe Tournament in a bantamweight division.[6] Alexander Luster withdrew from the tournament against Dean Garnett due to an injury and was replaced by Tuomas Grönvall.[7]
