Bryan Battle's PFL campaign

Overview

On August 7, 2026, Bryan Battle secured his first PFL victory at the PFL Charlotte event in Bojangles Coliseum, defeating Dalton Rosta via split decision in the middleweight main event. Following the win, Battle expressed interest in a potential future matchup against Jake Paul.

During the event, PFL CEO John Martin addressed broadcasting issues, noting that viewers faced confusion as the live stream transitioned between the ESPN app and various ESPN networks. Martin described the coordination challenges as "maddening" but suggested that the league's recent merger with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) might improve future broadcasting coordination with ESPN.
