The World Tournament semifinals wonโt be the only high stakes action on tap for Professional Fighters League on June 20.
The promotion announced on Monday that a lightweight clash between Mansour Barnaoui and Archie Colgan has been added to PFL World Tournament 6, which takes place at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita Kansas. As an added incentive, the winner of the contest will become the No. 1 contender for 155-pound champion Usman Nurmagomedov.
A native of Paris, Barnaoui is coming off back-to-back submission victories over Yusuke Yachi and Alfie Davis. The 32-year-old known as โAfro-Samuraiโ is a former Road FC title holder and has finished 21 of his 22 professional triumphs inside the distance.
Colgan, meanwhile, is undefeated in 11 professional outings. The 29-year-old Colorado native enjoyed a 2-0 campaign in 2024 in which he bested Manoel Sousa and Thibault Gouti under the Bellator banner.
The announcement came as a surprise to lightweight contender Paul Hughes, who dropped a hard-fought majority decision to Nurmagomedov on Jan. 25. After scoring a 42-second stoppage of Bruno Miranda at PFL Europe 1, โBig Newsโ expected to get a rematch with the Dagestani champion.
โHey quit with the rage bait,โ Hughes wrote in reply to the PFL announcement on X.
