The Professional Fighters League returned with its 2022 season nearly three weeks ago and has updated the PFL standings for all weight classes.
Through the three events, we have seen several of the 2021 season champions win their first bouts of the 2022 season.
Women’s lightweight: Kayla Harrison (C) def. Marina Mokhnatkina via unanimous decision
Lightweight: Raush Manfio (C) def. Don Madge via third-round TKO
Light Heavyweight: Antonio Carlos Junior (C) def. Delan Monte via first-round submission
Heavyweight: Bruno Cappelozza (C) def. Stuart Austin via first-round KO
We have also seen 2021 welterweight champion Ray Cooper III lose his first regular-season bout to Carlos Leal, Clay Collard defeat UFC vet Jeremy Stephens, Anthony Pettis score his first win under the PFL banner, and Roy MacDonald get a first-round submission over Brett Cooper.
