Paul “Big News” Hughes’ (13-2) will take on Bruno “Robusto” Miranda (17-5) in the Lightweight Main Event Showcase bout, as Paul fulfills his dream of headlining The SSE Arena in front of his home fans. Coming off a majority decision loss for the Lightweight Championship against Usman Nurmagomedov in January, Hughes is looking to bounce back in Belfast, but he will have a fight on his hands with the Brazilian striking marauder, Bruno Miranda, who has fought only former World Champions in his last three outings.
2024 PFL Europe Bantamweight Champion Lewis “The McGrizzla” McGrillen (11-1) returns after a phenomenal year of action, where he took the title home after two consecutive incredible knockout victories. His opponent, Alan “Super Ali” Philpott (21-16-0, 1 NC), believes he has the answer to McGrillen’s power and will look to silence the doubters as he fights in his home country for the first time in 11 years.
