HOLLYWOOD, Fla – J.P. Saint Louis hopes his debut was good enough to earn a spot in next year’s PFL World Tournament.

At 2025 PFL World Tournament 10, Saint Louis (12-5) kicked off the entire card at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with a unanimous decision win over Tyler Ray in a 175-pound catchweight bout. A veteran of notable regional promotions such as LFA and CFFC, plus the welterweight champion of Combat Night, Saint Louis hopes everything leads to more opportunities under the PFL banner.

“Hell yeah, I want to be in that tournament,” Saint Louis told reporters during a post-fight news conference. “I want to make some bread. I want to fight the best fighters in the world. I want to show them exactly who Jean Pierre Saint Louis is, that ‘Too Much’ is here, all that. I want to be in the tournament, so PFL, I hope y’all liked that. That was the first fight of the night – brought that sh*t. Bring be back. I’m just going to keep getting better.”

Saint Louis is currently on a five-fight winning streak. The 32-year-old believes he brings a full package to the PFL, inside and out of the cage, which would make for a valuable addition to next year’s tournament.

“I’m the funniest fighter in MMA, I have the best social media – they’re gonna get a lot,” Saint Louis said. “Best chef, best looking, best content – whatever you want, I can do it. I can speak well, I can make funny videos, serious videos, all of it. I’m all around just an entertainer and a dog when I get in that cage.”
