In the 2025 PFL World Tournament 6 main event, Rabadanov (26-4-2) defeated Lee (20-9) via TKO due to punches at 2:37 of Round 1. The fight served as one of two lightweight tournament semifinal bouts at INTRUST Bank Arena.

Gadzhi Rabadanov ran through Kevin Lee to book his ticket to the finals. In Friday's PFL 6 main event in Wichita, Kansas, the Dagestani star needed a little more than half a round to pummel Lee with punches and send him crashing face-first to the mat.

Gadzhi Rabadanov will fight for his second straight PFL lightweight title after finishing Kevin Lee in the first round, while Liz Carmouche advanced to the women's flyweight finals.
