Matches to make after PFL Brussels

The Professional Fighters League landed in Brussels, Belgium, on Saturday, bringing in a hometown favorite in the main event as Patrick Habirora took on a legend in former Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Extreme Cagefighting champ Benson Henderson . Three fighters stood out the most, two of which had Belgian roots and laid the groundwork that should see them with high-level competition moving forward. Here are the matches to make following PFL Belgium: Patrick Habirora vs.

Florim Zendeli After his 20 second knockout, Habriora needs to get himself an opportunity to crack into the Top 5 as he’s working into title contention. Zendeli is coming off a loss to former champion Logan Storley who is no longer with the promotion, and could be a great test with his wrestling skill base. Habirora used up little energy in his main event win over Henderson, which lasted just 20 seconds, so he could get a quick turnaround.

For a bantamweight division with no champion, Lapilus should face Khavalov, who is also coming off a big win when he defeated Raufeon Stots earlier this year.

Newcomer Mitch McKee could also be in the mix for a title fight opportunity but after just one fight in the promotion, he may need a couple more bouts on his resume before that can happen.
