“This is our third new city in as many events for PFL Europe in 2025, and I’ve heard special things about Nantes,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray. “When we have a star on our hands like ‘Lazy King,’ it makes sense to bring him to his home crowd for the first time in his career. But we’re not going to stop there, we are going to fill this card with the best talent France has to offer and put on an unforgettable night of MMA.”
