Thad Jean and Chamil Musaev will meet in the PFL main event at CareFirst Arena in Washington in the night of Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 July, with RMC Sport set to show the card live and exclusively in France. The broadcast begins at 1 a.m. French time, putting Moustapha Diakhate readers on notice for a late-night fight built around one of the season’s most closely watched matchups.
The reason the bout is drawing attention is simple enough. Jean is 28 and still unbeaten at 11-0, a record that includes five KO wins and five wins by decision, and he arrives after winning the PFL welterweight tournament in 2025. Musaev, 32, brings the kind of record that can turn a clean unbeaten run into a rough night: 20 wins, one loss and one no contest, plus 12 victories by KO and a tournament title of his own in 2024.
That is why the matchup is being framed as more than a standard broadcast notice. Jean is the younger man and the unbeaten one, but Musaev has already shown he can end fights quickly and has been tested at the highest level of the PFL. He also carries the memory of his first career defeat, to Ramazan Kuramagomedov in February 2026, which adds another layer to a fight that does not look like a routine title defense or a simple showcase.
For French viewers, the practical answer is clear: RMC Sport is the only place to watch it live in France, and the clock will matter as much as the matchup itself. The timing puts the bout squarely into the overnight window, with the live feed starting at 1 a.m. and the fight taking place in Washington, not long before the weekend turns over.
RMC Sport also lists a digital subscription from 19 euros per month with a one-year commitment, or 25 euros per month without commitment. But the subscription pitch is secondary to the draw here. What matters most is that Jean’s perfect record will be tested against a fighter with power, experience and a history of winning tournaments, and the result will be known only once the live main event from Washington is over.
