In front of the fans and media in attendance, showcased their skills in a public training session before facing off for the first time ahead of their highly anticipated showdown. .

The Nigerian fighter, Ukah said, “I’m very happy to be on the first PFL Africa card, and my fight with Ceileigh is going to be an exciting one. We’re going to be representing the two biggest MMA nations in Africa, and we want to help put African MMA in the global spotlight.

“Compared to her, I think I’m the more experienced fighter and the better striker, so I’m comfortable wherever the fight goes. I expect to get the finish, but I don’t mind going to a third round if needed. Ceileigh, let’s bring out the best in each other and show the world how well African women can fight!”

On the other hand, her opponent Niedermayr stated that it is truly an honour to be part of the first-ever women’s fight in PFL Africa. She said: “This fight camp isn’t just about preparing for my next opponent — it’s a reflection of my lifelong dedication to martial arts. I’m always pushing myself to grow, to evolve, and to become the best fighter I can be.

“On fight night, I’m bringing a new level of Smiley Savagery to the SmartCage. I have a lot of respect for Juliet as a fighter, and I welcome the chance to test myself against her, but I don’t think she’s ever faced anyone like me. I’m expecting an exciting, high-level battle — and I’m ready for it.”

According to the organisers, the historic PFL Cape Town event will kick off the 2025 PFL Africa Tournament, featuring First Round matchups in the Heavyweight and Bantamweight divisions. The event will also be headlined by five must-see PFL Champions Series bouts, including a Middleweight World Championship main event between titleholder Johnny “Pressure” Eblen (16-0) and challenger Costello “The Spaniard” van Steenis (16-3). Tickets for the event are on sale now via Ticketpro.

The fight begins on Saturday evening with the PFL Africa Tournament, followed by the PFL Champions Series, which kicks off later even as it was announced that the broadcast partner will be announced shortly.

PFL is a global powerhouse in MMA and the fastest-growing sports league worldwide and is broadcast and streamed live to 190 countries with 20 leading media partners.
