That knowing about the average weight PFL 2025, light heavy goods vehicles and heavy goods vehicles

The PFL ends its 2025 season in a significant way Thursday in Hollywood, Florida, with heavy goods vehicles and light heavy goods vehicles among the last three weight categories at the tournament champions (9 p.m. he on ESPN / ESPN +; Prelims at 6 p.m. on ESPN +).

The main event of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Seminole Hard Rock has twice opposed Bellator MMA intermediate weight title Challenger Fabian Edwards against Dalton Rosta. In the co-printing event, the PFL 2024 heavy goods vehicle finalist, Oleg Popov, meeting Alexander Romanov for the title 2025. The main card opens on the Champion of light heavyweights 2021 Antonio Carlos Jr. against Sullivan Cauley. The combat card will bring the list of new champions to eight, while the PFL has crowned champions by Welter weight and feathered weight on August 1 and light weight, rooster weight and female fly weight on August 15.

Here are some things to know about the three PFL finals on Thursday 2025.

Average weight: Fabian Edwards (15-4) against Dalton Rosta (11-1)

How Edwards arrived here: Imported Kasanganay impossible by TKO in the second round on April 18; Beaten Josh Silveira with a unanimous decision in a semi-final of June 27.

How Rosta arrived here: Defeated Sadibou Sy by submission in the second round on April 18; Beat Aaron Jeffery by shared decision in the semi-finals of June 27.

Number namely: 0.
How many opponents Rosta has not been defeated. Yes, he has a defeat on his file, by decision against Jeffery in 2023. But Rosta demanded a substantial revenge on Jeffery earlier this summer by going beyond him in this championship fight.

Combat words: “He lost this fight [against Jeffery]. I don’t care what the judges say. He lost this fight. If it was a five rounds, it would have been finished by Jeffery. “” – Edwards, after the Rosta semi-final

“I beat it worse than you beat it. … I exceeded it worse than you. – Rosta, comparing her semi-final to the victory of the unanimous decision of Edwards in 2024 on Jeffery

Factor X: Familiarity of the championship.
It will be the fifth fight of Edwards since 2023 with a championship or an opportunity to fight for an upcoming game. He challenged twice for the title of Bellator of 185 pounds, twice in this position via title qualifiers. This experience is precious – not insurmountable, but not insignificant either. Rosta is a beginner at this level.

What to monitor: Edwards has managed two defeats in his last eight fights, both in the fights with Johnny Eblen, who happens to be Rosta’s training partner at the American Top Team in Florida. Rosta and Eblen are not carbon copies of each other, but given all Rosta has taken in the gymnasium, he probably understands what elements of the Eblen game caused so many problems to Eblewards.

Heavy goods vehicle: Alexander Romanov (19-3, 1 NC) against Oleg Popov (21-2)

How Romanov arrived here: Bat Timothy Johnson with a submission in the first round on May 1; Advanced by the decision of the judges after his semi-final of June 27 against Valentin Molddsky was tried not to competition because an illegal strike of the groin made Romanov unable to continue.

How Popov arrived here: Beaten Karl Williams by shared decision on May 1; Beat Rodrigo Nascimento by a unanimous decision in the semi-finals of June 27.

Number namely: 28
This is the number of finishes of Romanov and Popov, combined, in their 40 victories. Romanov has 16 (10 submissions, 6 knockouts), Popov 12 (3 submarines, 9 KB). However, the last four victories of Popov took the distance, as are two of the last three victories of Romanov.

Combat words: “As soon as I remove it, it will feel my pressure. One of the most difficult sides of my game is my grappling and my struggle.” – Romanov, on his weight advantage of 20 pounds in this fight

“I want to fight it. But if he suggests fighting, I’m going to fight with him.” – Popov

Factor X: Experience
Popov fought in the PFL final last season, losing against Denis Goltsov by a submission in the first round to end a sequence of 16 victories. It was not the result he wanted, of course, but the fact is that Popov has already been here. Romanov is only two fights in his PFL race.

What to monitor: When the wrestler fights the wrestler, one of the two things happens: either they fight (Duh), or they cancel themselves in this discipline and engage in a striking match. And when wrestling specialists exchange leather, it often turns into a sloppy slobberknocker. Add to the stew that these two men are knowledge that has spent time to the other outside the cage, and who knows what’s going on? One thing is certain: if the Popov mentor, the legend of MMA Fedor Emelianenko, is in his corner, Popov will remain on the task and will bring explosiveness. When asked what it is to have the Grand Fedor by his side, Popov said: “The biggest responsibility”.

Light heavyweight: Sullivan Cauley (8-1) against Antonio Carlos Jr. (18-6, 2 ncs)

How Cauley arrived here: Beaten Alex Polizza by TKO in the first round on May 1; Beat Phil Davis with a unanimous decision in a semi-final of June 27.

How Carlos arrived here: Defeated Karl Moore by the divided decision Alex Polizza on May 1; Beat Simeon Powell with a unanimous decision in a semi-final of June 27.

Number namely: 12
This is the number of submissions for Carlos among his 18 victories. He is twice Jiu-Jitsu world champion.

Combat words: “Some things you learn from experience. I had a lot of mistakes in my career, I did a lot of bad things in my fights. Some have cost me the victory. This is why I think the experience is so important and [Cauley] Does not have much experience. I will not make the mistakes I have made in the past, and I will use it in my favor. “” – Carlos, contrasting his career of 26 MMA fights with nine Cauley fights

“He has more experience than me, but I have proven in my last fight that I can beat the guys with a lot of experience.” – Cauley

Factor X: Discipline to fight where you are the best
Cauley describes himself as “one of the rare MMA guys who could block at the professional level”. With his limited experience in the cage, can he maintain the composure so as not to use his struggle offensively but to maintain the standing fight, where he would want to reason that he has the advantage? Or will Hubris take over and lead him to the canvas-the world of Carlos?

What to monitor: Cauley is a former wrestler of the division-I in Arizona State, so he is comfortable fighting on the web. In the MMA, however, all his victories except two were through the first round, so it goes without saying that he would prefer to stand up and throw his hands with Carlos, an elite grappling without victories with direct elimination in career.
