The Professional Fighters League has one more event before 2023 comes to a close. Top fighters from all over the world face off in the Europe Championship Finals on December 8. In the 3Arena in Dublin, the event airs on DAZN in the U.K.

Four championship fights highlight the event. Frans Mlambo faces Khurshed Kakhorov in bantamweight action. The 32-year-old Irishman turned pro in 2015. A Brave CF and Bellator alum, "The Black Mamba" had an opportunity to join The Ultimate Fighter but decided to take the PFL up on its offer. He has won two fights for the promotion, both via split decision. 

"I was weighing the options to see what I wanted to do. But being at the stage that I am in my career, going to the Ultimate Fighter would've been a step back," Mlambo told Planet Sport. "I feel if I'm ever going to get into the UFC or whatever I would've wanted to just go straight in instead of messing around with the Ultimate Fighter business. The PFL offer a million dollars [to the championship winners on the main rosters], and everything about it, the way they keep you active, and the good deal they gave me at the start as well. It was a no-brainer. I just had to go with the PFL."

Kakhorov turned pro in 2017. The man from Tajikistan has also won two fights via decision under the PFL Europe banner and is on a three-fight win streak.
