Bringing a star-studded fight card to the sprawling city of Chicago, the PFL endeavors to cap off an action-packed month of June with two entertaining bouts in PFL Chicago featuring competitors from the light heavyweight and middleweight class’ semifinals. Headlining the event, former Bellator title challenger Fabian Edwards aims to continue his successful 2025 when he takes on Josh Silveira. In the penultimate match of the night at PFL Chicago, UFC veteran Phil Davis battles Sullivan Cauley.

Coming off of a stunning knockout performance over promotional darling Impa Kasanganay, Edwards has catapulted himself into a new level of stardom in the PFL, emerging as a strong favorite to win the 185-lb tournament. Tasked with halting the advance of another strong contender, the Jamaica native looks to punch his ticket to the finals with another solid finish at PFL Chicago. 

After dropping down to the middleweight category for the first time since 2021, Silveira picked up an excellent win over Mike Shipman to kickstart what looks to be a fruitful run in this year’s bracket. On a mission to succeed in a different division after a long-time stay at 205-lb, “Coninha” will come to blows with one of the weight class’s hardest hitters in the surging Edwards.

Recording a jaw-dropping first round knockout over one-time light heavyweight king Rob Wilkinson in his PFL debut, Davis takes to the Smart Cage once again as he continues his run towards the finals. Ahead of his second appearance of 2025 in PFL Chicago, “Mr. Wonderful” appears to be hitting the prime years of his career.      

While he may lack the wealth of experience that his opponent possesses, Cauley boasts a staggering 100% stoppage rate across his seven professional victories. Coming to blows with a man who has fought some of the best fighters in the world, “Sully” is on the hunt for the largest win of his mixed martial arts journey.
