Amin Ayoub, 2025 PFL Europe 3

The third event of the 2025 PFL Europe series took place Friday at Zenith Nantes Metropole in Nantes, France, and there was no shortage of action throughout the card.

Eight of 10 fights ended in a stoppage. One contest that didn't need the judges was the lightweight main event, with hometown hero Amin Ayoub (26-5) putting a thorough beatdown on Keweny Lopes (12-4-1) through two rounds and finally finishing it with a standing TKO at the 3:19 mark of Round 3 to extend his winning streak to 10 fights.

In addition, two PFL Europe tournament finals matchups were set for the promotion's Dec. 13 event in Lyon. Connor Hughes (12-2) vs. Aleksandr Chizov (12-3) will clash at lightweight after emerging from the semifinals, while Baris Adiguzel (9-1) vs. Dean Garnett (14-3-1) will close the bantamweight bracket following their respective stoppage wins.
