Scheduled for Saturday, 19 July, at the GrandWest Arena, PFL Africa 1 will be the first major MMA event hosted by a global organisation on the continent. Fans can look forward to witnessing 18 elite African athletes showcasing their skills inside the PFL SmartCage, signifying a significant milestone for the sport.

The event will feature thrilling match-ups across the Bantamweight and Heavyweight divisions, with the headline bout seeing South Africa’s own Nkosi Ndebele (8-3) go toe-to-toe with Egypt’s rising star Mahmoud Atef (5-2) in a Bantamweight semifinal. The co-main event promises to deliver excitement as Cameroon’s Maxwell Djantou Nana (6-1) faces Ivory Coast’s Mikael Groguhe (6-2), both renowned for their finishing power.

Adding to the anticipation, the card will include a special Women’s Strawweight Showcase Bout featuring the undefeated Nigerian prospect, Juliet Ukah (6-0). Details regarding her opponent are expected to be announced shortly.
