The Professional Fighters League Europe slate is transforming in a big way.

On Thursday, the PFL announced that its fight card on May 23 in Paris has been postponed. The reason was not disclosed, but the league did state that tickets would be refunded. Rather than set another event this summer in the City of Light, it will be moving north one country to post up in Brussels, Belgium, on July 5. It is currently unclear if the participants scheduled to compete in France will be shifted to the new event.

The PFL Europe 2 show was set to feature a headliner Mansour Barnaoui vs. Archie Colgan, and the PFL Europe bantamweight tournament was to begin as well. Additionally, soccer star Patrice Evra was to make his professional MMA debut that night. Evra did not receive an opponent before the fight card was bumped.

The organization did subsequently state that a pair of unbeaten Belgian prospects would be slotted onto the new lineup. Lightweight Patrick Habirora as well as 205-pounder Boris Mbarga Atangana will compete on July 5, with their foes to be determined. The fighters will compete inside of the ING Arena, with ticket information to be released at an upcoming date.
