Daniel Gallemore Talks Francimar Barroso Matchup, PFL Heavyweight Tournament & Fake Outdoor Shows
Daniel Gallemore (7-4) discusses his heavyweight tournament matchup against Francimar Barroso (19-7) for PFL on June 7.

Interview with Daniel Gallemore below:
Last week the PFL unveiled its formidable roster of 72 fighters from 13 countries and the league’s official 11 event, 126 fight schedule. The first PFL regular season event will be held on June 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Gallemore’s fight will be on that card.
The 2018 PFL season will feature 126 fights in seven regular-season events, a bracket-style ”win or go home” playoff, and a $10 million post-season prize pool—the largest tournament prize pool in the history of MMA. The season will begin with 12 athletes in each of six different weight-classes. Eight fighters from each class will earn their way into the playoff round, and one fighter in each division will earn the title of champion.
All competitors will have to win two fights in one evening during the playoff round to advance to the championship event. Six fighters will take home a 2018 PFL championship belt and a $1 million purse.
