NEW YORK (AUGUST 12, 2026)\u00a0\u2013 The Professional Fighters League (PFL) today announced the full card for\u00a0PFL Tampa Presented by Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, which takes place on Saturday, August 22 at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida.
\u00a0
PFL Women\u2019s Featherweight World Champion\u00a0Cris Cyborg\u00a0(29-2) will headline the event, defending the PFL Women\u2019s Featherweight World Championship for the final time against title challenger\u00a0Ketlen Vieira\u00a0(16-5).\u00a0
\u00a0
One of the most decorated female mixed martial artists of all time, Cyborg will look to add another championship victory to her legendary career. Beginning her journey when MMA was in its early inception, her 21 years in the sport have led to one of the most iconic r\u00e9sum\u00e9s in MMA, and she\u2019s still striving to build that legacy. Opposite her stands Brazilian compatriot Vieira, who looks to take the title from an icon and build a legacy of her own by taking the throne. She has the opportunity of a lifetime on August 22 to end an eight-year unbeaten streak and earn her place amongst PFL\u2019s champions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
In the co-main event, 2024 PFL Lightweight Champion\u00a0#2-Gadzhi Rabadanov\u00a0(27-5-2) will proudly represent Team Khabib once again and remind the world of his four-fight KO streak that took him to last year\u2019s finals. However, his scheduled opponent Jakub Kaszuba has withdrawn, and he will now face PFL newcomer\u00a0Tracy Reeder\u00a0(12-5), who is on a 5-fight win streak with all those victories coming by way of finish.\u00a0
\u00a0
Also featuring on the main card, Portugal\u2019s\u00a0Gustavo Oliveira\u00a0(13-2) returns to action to add to his incredible run which includes a spinning elbow KO, stopping an undefeated European prospect in Paris, and upsetting the bookmakers in Belgium. He will face Brazil\u2019s\u00a0#9-Marcirley Alves\u00a0(15-5), the 2025 PFL World Tournament Champion with a wealth of experience and dangerous power in his hands.\u00a0
\u00a0
Meanwhile England’s\u00a0#3-Luke Trainer\u00a0(10-1) is riding a five-fight win-streak, four of which have come by way of a choke, who is looking to shut off another opponent on his way up the rankings in a division full of competitors vying for a title challenge. To stand out in his division, he\u2019ll need a statement win but, in his way, stands a former US Marine and 3x All American wrestler\u00a0Roland “The Dream” Dunlap\u00a0(7-0) in a light heavyweight contest. Dunlap makes his PFL debut and comes with an amateur wrestling record of 159-9.\u00a0
