A pair of lightweights will be atop the card when the PFL sets up shop in the “City of Lights” this spring. Paris’ own Mansour Barnaoui (22-6) will take on unbeaten Archie Colgan (11-0) at Accor Arena on May 24, the PFL announced Thursday. In addition, Belgian lightweight fighters Patrick Habirora (6-0) and Nicolas Di Franco (10-4) will meet, and French fighter Taylor Lapilus will make his promotional debut on the card. Barnaoui has 21 of his 22 wins by stoppage, including 15 submissions, and he’s never been finished in his six losses. Colgan, a former NCAA Division-I wrestling standout who trains with Justin Gaethje and Kamaru Usman, among others, will put his unbeaten record on the line. “I have a huge opportunity at the Accor Arena to make a statement and finish an undefeated fighter,” Barnaoui said in a news release
