The second season of PFL Africa is set to kick off this spring.
The PFL announced on Tuesday that the promotion will return to the continent for an event at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, South Africa on April 10. The card will be headlined by a bantamweight showcase bout between inaugural PFL Africa bantamweight champion Nkosi Ndebele and Michele Clemente. In the co-main event, Justin Clarke will lock horns with Abdoulaye Kane at heavyweight. Broadcast information — as well as additional bouts — are expected to be announced soon.

“PFL Africa reflects the ambition, energy, and identity of the continent,” said PFL Africa general manager Elias Schulze in a release. “It’s more than MMA — it’s a fast-rising cultural platform built around Africa’s elite athletes, delivering world-class entertainment that extends far beyond the cage. As we grow, we’re uniting sport, culture, and fans across the continent.”
Ndebele captured the PFL Africa Season 1 crown with a second-round stoppage of Boule Godogo on Dec. 20. The former Brave Combat Federation title holder has been victorious in five of his last six professional outings — including three under the PFL banner.
Italy’s Clemente has won seven of his first eight professional outings on the regional circuit. He has finished five of his seven victories but hasn’t fought since June 2024.
Clarke reached the finals of PFL Africa last year, where he suffered a 21-second KO loss to Abraham Bably on Dec. 20. The South African had won his first four pro appearances by KO or TKO prior to that defeat.
Senegal’s Kane is coming off back-to-back stoppage wins under the PFL banner. He is 5-1 as a pro and has only gone past the first round twice in his career thus far.
