PFL Africa Boss Elias Schulze Declares Nigeria The Present Capital of African Mixed Martial Arts

Posted : 12 June 2026

The General Manager of Professional Fighters League Africa, Elias Schulze, has labeled the continent as the ultimate breeding ground for future world champions in Mixed Martial Arts. Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, Schulze emphasized that Africa holds immense potential for the sport. He specifically highlighted Nigeria as the driving force behind the current martial arts boom on the continent.

The global promotion is set to hold its highly anticipated maiden event in Lagos on Saturday, June 13. Schulze explained that establishing a presence in Nigeria was an absolute priority for the organization. He noted that local athletes now have a clear and profitable pathway to transition from regional competition to the global stage.

The upcoming fight card features twenty-six professional fighters, with eight Nigerian athletes prominently showcased. Schulze remarked that the promotion was truly spoiled for choice when selecting elite local talent. Organizers confirmed that the event will be broadcast worldwide via SuperSport and Sporting TV to ensure maximum accessibility for fans.

The home contingent of fighters expressed immense confidence ahead of their respective bouts inside the cage. Elite female contender Juliet Ukah revealed she completed an intensive training camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Nigerian policewoman is scheduled to face Shelda Chipito of Zambia in a highly anticipated clash.

Meanwhile, experienced Nigerian featherweight Cornel Thompson vowed to deliver a dominant performance for the home crowd. Holding an impressive professional record of eleven victories and three losses, Thompson promised a clinical stoppage. Fellow contenders Wasi Adeshina, Patrick Ocheme, Raphael Uchegbu, and Yahaya Yahuza also promised to leave the arena victorious.
