Rob Wilkinson will welcome Abraham Bably to the light heavyweight division at PFL San Diego.

The promotion confirmed the bout following an initial report from Combat Evolved. PFL San Diego takes place at Pechanga Arena in San Diego and is headlined by a featherweight clash pitting A.J. McKee against Salamat Isbulaev.

Former Champs Collide

A two-time UFC veteran, Wilkinson won the PFL light heavyweight championship under the old season format in 2022. After failing in drug test in relation to a bout against Thiago Santos in 2023, “Razor” has gone 2-3 in PFL competition. He has lost his last three outings, including a first-round submission defeat to Luke Trainer in his most recent appearance at PFL Dubai on Feb. 7.

Bably, meanwhile, enjoyed a memorable run through the PFL Africa heavyweight field in 2025, finishing Paul-Emmanuel Gnaze, Joffie Houlton and Justin Clarke inside of a round. The 30-year-old Manchester Top Team representative has finished six of his eight career triumphs via knockout or technical knockout.
