News Summary:

The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is reportedly considering a complete rebranding, which could include changing its name to Bellator MMA, a brand it acquired in 2023 and subsequently integrated into its structure. This consideration follows PFL's introduction of a new rankings system on January 27, 2026, which notably excluded Francis Ngannou, who signed with PFL in 2023 after vacating the UFC heavyweight title. Previously, on November 14, 2025, former Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov was reportedly close to finalizing a UFC contract, having struggled to find fights. Earlier in August 2025, former Bellator MMA champion Corey Anderson expressed his intent to remain active in the PFL as both a light heavyweight and heavyweight after his technical knockout win against Denis Goltsov on July 19. This followed news from July 5, 2025, that Oleg Popov, a longtime Bellator MMA veteran who joined PFL in 2024 and reached the 2024 heavyweight championship, is not interested in a move to the UFC.
