The Professional Fighters League’s middleweight division will be heavily featured at PFL Charlotte this August.
Announced via press release on Wednesday, Bryan Battle (12-3, 1NC) versus Dalton Rosta (11-3) is set to headline the event, which takes place on August 7, 2026 at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, NC.
Two additional fights, both at 185lbs as well, were also revealed. One will see former PFL season finalist Josh Silveira (15-5) taking on Canadian standout Aaron Jeffery (16-6). The other features ex-UFC talent Josh Fremd (12-6), who faces off with Brazilian Jhony Gregory (10-5).
Fremd made his PFL debut earlier this year, knocking out Jarrah Hussein Al-Silawi back in March. Gregory, who is 1-1 with the promotion, will be making his North American, and U.S. debut in the fight.
Bryan Battle, another former UFC talent and The Ultimate Fighter winner, also made his debut on the PFL Pittsburgh card in March, losing to Johnny Eblen via submission. Battle exited the UFC last year after multiple struggles with his weight, and found success under Mike Perry’s Dirty Boxing banner prior to signing on with the Professional Fighters League.
Battle holds victories over Randy Brown, Treasean Gore, and Gilbert Urbina, among others.
Dalton Rosta is a Bellator MMA product who went 9-1 for the company before coming into the PFL when they acquired the rival promotion. He’s now hit back-to-back losses for the first time in his career, dropping fights to Fabian Edwards and Impa Kasanganay.
