Dakota Bush Officially Signs With the PFL

Former UFC lightweight Dakota Bush has officially signed with the Professional Fighters League (PFL), announcing the news on his social media earlier today.

Bush, who was released from the UFC in 2022 following a two-fight skid, immediately returned to the regional circuit and has since rebuilt his career in dominant fashion. He went on a seven-fight win streak, claiming the Nemesis Fighting Championship lightweight title and successfully defending it. His most recent fight came in 2025 against Joe Giannetti at Cage Titans 73.

In his announcement, Bush shared his excitement about joining the PFL:

“I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve signed with the PFL! I want to thank everyone who has supported me along the way. This has been a collaborative effort from every sponsor, supporter, and message of encouragement that has helped get me to this point.”

With his PFL deal now official, Bush moves into the next chapter of his career. He’s back on a global stage, this time with one of MMA’s fastest-growing promotions. A fight announcement is expected soon. While Bush hasn’t confirmed anything yet, his sponsorship deadline lines up closely with PFL Madrid in March. It currently stands as the organization’s only announced event that month.
