Four fighters with no wiki pages have each won $1,000,000 in the PFL today.

[Oozing BDE]

Raush Manfio (LW)

Debuted in the PFL this season

Lost to current UFC fighter Matt Frevola in 2017

Frevola's next fight was on Dana White's Contender Series.

Frevola has not made anything close to a million dollars since 2017


Movlid Khaybulaev (FW)

His only "notable" non-PFL wins were over current UFC fighters Herbert Burns (in 2017) and Damon Jackson (in 2019).

He drew with current fighter Daniel Pineda (in 2019).

None of those guys have made a million in the UFC


Bruno Henrique Cappelozza (HW)

Debuted in the PFL this season

Lost to Jiri Prochazka in 2018.

Jiri has not made a million despite being in the UFC since mid-2020


Ray Cooper III (WW)

Won four fights this year to win the million dollar prize.

Very few UFC fighters make a million after four fights.

None of them are marketable either.. how is PFL going to keep this up?

 

[RogerB08]

It's telling that all these dudes amounted to nothing in the The UFC, but they're champion material in The PFL.

if they did one tournament a year it could be fine but 6?

they're gonna WCW themselves

 

[WhosTheBoss]

I’ve been watching all day
It’s great


The commentary is solid. The production is A+
It comes across basically as UFCs sister promotion.
Feels very good.

 

[Megatronlee]

Mma has reached a cool place . Let’s see them fight the cage titans champ next

[Reign009]

I wish PFL was around when I was fighting.

There’s no way PFL can keep this up. They’re going bankrupt in the next 3 years I’m calling it.

People said that 3 years ago when they debuted.

 

[Draxton]

How many fights to win the tournament? What did they get paid for the previous fights in the tournament?

None of the guys I highlighted have ever been in the UFC

 

[DaRivv20]

Yes and now they’ve spent even more money.

 

[Chivas GDL]

Someone is losing a lot of money there, let's all hate Dana for not being this kind of fool

 

[Milkcarton42]

Sometimes checks get lost in the mail

What is the parent company? Do they have a parent company?

+1 the show its decent, since i watch on youtube they have this weird silent breaks, but other than that is a solid promotion, fights have been decent too.

I have no idea about fight purse but it cant be that high, to win the whole thing its like 5 fights, but i think they can even lose 1 and still move ahead and win the "season".

I think sherdog should start its own fight promotion. I'd fight in it
