On October 18, 2025, Kigali's BK Arena will host the PFL Africa League semi-finals, where some of the continent's top fighters will compete for a place in the grand finals scheduled for December.
In a video shared on the league's social media platforms, Francis Ngannou, who serves as Chairman of PFL Africa, confirmed he will be present in Rwanda.
'I am calling all of you to join us in Kigali at BK Arena on October 18, where Africa's MMA [Mixed Martial Arts] takes center stage,' Ngannou said. 'Come witness greatness, watch our warriors rise, and be part of history. Don't miss it â€" be there with us.'
A total of 22 fighters will face off across different divisions, including Heavyweight, Bantamweight, Welterweight, and Featherweight.
This marks the first time for Rwanda to host a continental-level mixed martial arts event. Among the featured bouts, James Opio will represent Rwanda, facing Isaac Omeda from Uganda.
The event, being held in Africa for the first time, is organized by the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts (GAMMA) through the Professional Fighters League Africa.
