Former PFL champ Ante Delija signs with UFC

Former PFL heavyweight champion Ante Delija has signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC, marking a significant move for the promotion’s heavyweight division. The 34-year-old Croatian standout, previously a PFL tournament winner, was reported to have joined the organization in a deal finalized this week. The signing, first noted by MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz and covered by LowKickMMA, is expected to bolster the UFC’s relatively thin heavyweight roster. This transition could lead to high-profile matchups and renewed visibility for Delija on the sport’s biggest stage.
