Undefeated Champions Set for Showdown as PFL New York Reveals Full Fight Card

The Professional Fighters League has confirmed the full lineup for PFL New York Presented by Arkham, with an 11-fight card scheduled for Friday, July 31, at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. The event will be headlined by a lightweight world championship clash between two undefeated fighters as champion Usman Nurmagomedov defends his title against third-ranked contender Archie “King” Colgan.

Nurmagomedov enters the bout with a perfect 21-0 professional record and will be aiming to extend his unbeaten run while continuing his reign as the PFL lightweight champion. Since capturing the title, he has established himself as one of the promotion’s top fighters through a series of dominant performances.

Standing opposite him will be Colgan, who also brings an unblemished record of 13-0 into the championship contest. Ranked third in the division, Colgan has steadily climbed the lightweight rankings and now has the opportunity to capture his first PFL world title by ending the champion’s unbeaten streak.

The co-main event features another unbeaten competitor as Dakota “Dangerous” Ditcheva returns to action in the women’s flyweight division. The No. 1-ranked contender will face sixth-ranked Denise “Miss Dynamite” Kielholtz in a matchup that could have major implications for the division’s title picture.

Ditcheva has compiled a flawless 15-0 record and is widely regarded as one of the promotion’s fastest-rising stars. A victory over Kielholtz would strengthen her position as the leading challenger for the women’s 125-pound championship.

Kielholtz enters the contest with a 9-5 record and will be looking to pull off one of the biggest upsets of her career. The experienced Dutch fighter has competed against several of the division’s top names and hopes a win over Ditcheva will move her back into title contention.

The main card also includes a light heavyweight matchup between No. 2-ranked Dovletdzhan “Wolfhound” Yagshimuradov and sixth-ranked Simeon Powell. Yagshimuradov carries a professional record of 26-8-1 and is seeking another victory to remain near the top of the rankings, while Powell, who is 12-2, will look to improve his standing with a win over one of the division’s leading contenders.

Another featured bout will see fifth-ranked bantamweight Raufeon Stots take on unbeaten Lazaro Dayron. Stots enters the contest with a record of 21-4 and hopes to strengthen his position among the division’s elite. Dayron, ranked 10th, remains undefeated at 10-0-1 and will attempt to continue his rise in the bantamweight rankings.

With multiple unbeaten fighters, a world championship bout and several key ranking contests, the July 31 event is expected to play an important role in shaping the future title picture across several PFL divisions.
