No other fights were included in the announcement.
Habirora, 24, has been on a tear since joining the PFL Europe circuit in December 2024, with all four of his promotional appearances resulting in finishes. Habirora most recently defeated Kevin Jousset by first-round TKO this past December at PFL Europe 4.
Henderson, 43, will be competing in an MMA fight for the first time since March 10, 2023, when he lost by first-round submission to Usman Nurmagomedov in the Bellator lightweight grand prix. Henderson had signed on to fight Anthony Pettis in the GFL last May, but the promotion shut down before it got started. The former UFC lightweight champ is 2-4 in his past six fights dating back to 2020.
