NEW YORK (July 2, 2026) – The Professional Fighters League (PFL) today announced the full card for PFL Washington D.C. on Saturday, July 25 at the CareFirst Arena in Washington D.C.

In an 11-fight card, the main event will feature a PFL Welterweight World Title bout between the undefeated #3Thad “The Silverback” Jean (11-0) and the devastating knock-out artist #1Shamil “The Silent Assassin” Musaev (20-1-1). A victory for Jean would finally validate his pursuit of becoming the best in the world, while a victory for Musaev would confirm what he already believes, that he is the best.

The co-main event will also see huge implications in the welterweight division as #2Magomed “Prince” Umalatov (18-1) will look to see off challenger #9Ernesto “Starboy” Rodriguez, who is coming for his spot. Also on the main card is a bantamweight banger between wrestling standout Bryce “Misfit” Meredith (7-1) and all-out British brawler Jack Cartwright (14-2). The final fight in the spotlight is proven finisher #4Sullivan “Sully” Cauley (8-2) against the undefeated Rasul Magomedov (9-0) in a light heavyweight contest.

The PFL Washington D.C. preliminary card is set to be broadcast in the U.S on the ESPN App from 7 pm ET/4 pm PT, with the main card broadcasting from 10 pm ET/7 pm PT on ESPN.
