AMIN AYOUB SET FOR CO-MAIN EVENT AGAINST DONOVAN DESMAE AT PFL EUROPE NANTES AT THE ZENITH NANTES METROPOLE ON 26 SEPT

By


London (27 August, 2025) - The Professional Fighters League (PFL) today announced Amin “Fierceness” Ayoub (25-5) will face Donovan “Vegas” Desmae (19-10) in a Lightweight co-main event showcase bout at PFL Europe Nantes on Friday 26 September at the Zenith Nantes Metropole, with tickets on-sale now via pfl.info/nantes.

Ayoub joins the ever growing PFL Europe roster and will make his debut in his home country, as he looks to take his nine fight win streak into the double digits in front of his French faithful. With 15 of his 25 victories coming by way of stoppage, “Fierceness” is looking to show the world why he is one of the biggest prospects coming out of France and in the Lightweight division. With his finishes nearly split evenly between KOs and submissions, Ayoub is the new generation of MMA fighter that can do whatever it takes in the SmartCage to take home the win.

Standing across from him at the Zenith Nantes Metropole on Friday 26 September is Belgium’s Desmae, a dangerous finisher with nearly half of his wins coming by way of knockout. With true heart, grit, and steely determination showcased in all his professional combat fights, “Vegas” is looking to halt the surging Frenchman in his home country with his well-rounded and experienced style of MMA.

“This is not just a signature. It’s a promise. PFL, I’m ready for war. Pain breaks the weak, glory crowns the warrior,” said Amin Ayoub.

“Almost the same number of fights, almost the same ranking in our country and Europe. I’m making it clear, it’s gonna be a dog fight,” said Donovan Desmae.
