Seven-fight winner Brachet makes PFL debut against Meskini in Lyon featherweight clash

Brandon Brachet will face Adam Meskini in a featherweight bout on the undercard of PFL Lyon, scheduled for December 19 at LDLC Arena in Lyon, France — the promotion’s final event of the year.

Brachet arrives on the back of a seven-fight winning streak, his most recent victory coming against Kevin Robledo in June 2025. Despite that momentum, the Frenchman steps into the PFL for the first time after an extended layoff, making this his promotional debut. Meskini, by contrast, is already established within the organisation, carrying a 3-1 record in the PFL and an overall mark of 11-3.

The featherweight addition slots into a card that is headlined by Taylor Lapilus taking on Mitchell McKee for the bantamweight championship. The full PFL Lyon card as of October 7 is as follows:

Taylor Lapilus vs. Mitchell McKee (bantamweight title fight)

Bryan Battle vs. Boris Mbarga Atangana (middleweight)

Abdoul Abdouraguimov vs. Andreeas Binder (welterweight)

Fabian Edwards vs. Ilian Bouafia (middleweight)

Baris Adiguzel vs. Liam Gittins (bantamweight)

Brandon Brachet vs. Adam Meskini (featherweight)

Jan Cieplowski vs. Mauricio Partida (bantamweight)

For Brachet, the bout represents a significant test of whether his winning run translates to a new competitive environment. Meskini’s familiarity with the PFL format and his solid record inside the promotion give him a meaningful edge in experience, setting up an intriguing contrast between a proven PFL performer and a debutant arriving in strong form.
