Just one month after, the playoffs are set to begin. Since we do not know the results of the upcoming round of the regular season, we do not know who will be on the respective playoff cards. However, we will keep you updated here at MyMMANews following the events.
The pathway to the 2022 PFL World Championships and $1 million purse that comes with it will begin with a field of 24 fighters across six divisions. Each of the three Playoff events will feature the top-four fighters across two weight divisions battling to earn a spot in the final – the biggest night in MMA – with no other sports league able to match the thrilling action in this win-and-advance, lose-and-go-home format.
The PFL’s overseas debut is not only great for the promotion, but it is great for the sport, and we congratulate the PFL on the big accomplishment.
Who do you see making it through the playoffs this year?
