The Professional Fighters League has entertained fans since 2018 thanks to its innovative format. Yet another tournament comes to a close when the promotion heads to Washington, D.C. for the Championship Finals on November 24. The event will air on ESPN+ PPV in the U.S.
The year 2023 has been newsworthy for the PFL. The promotion signed Francis Ngannou, announced a “Super Fight” PPV division with Jake Paul, and signed boxers Amanda Serrano and Savannah Marshall, along with former UFC fighter Derek Brunson and others. It also acquired Bellator MMA. These additions increase its talented roster, which includes returning champions and rising stars.
“The PFL has some of the best fighters on the planet,” PFL CEO Peter Murray told Sports Illustrated. “We’re proving we can develop stars and recruit stars.”
One of the top championship fights on the World Finals card is 2022 lightweight champion Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. boxer Clay Collard. Other returning stars include lightweight champion Larissa Pacheco facing Marina Mokhnatkina in welterweight action and Sadibou Sy fighting Magomed Magomedkerimov at welterweight.
