been looking forward to Ngannou vs Ferreira. thats a goddamned barnburner.
Larissa vs Cyborg is a great fight too. might be one of the toughest fights in Cyborg's career.
definitely gonna peep this. PFL has got themselves a damn good card.

Good to see Francis back, not all that excited for that fight though someone should get knocked out. Cyborg getting first real test since Nunes is good to see. Its a real PPV. Add some more Bellator vs PFL fights and its good.

Losing to Joshua likely made this happen now but always thought he'd give PFL 1 fight just to honor his word signing with them even if its less money. Or maybe the boxing thing dried up, he did say Saudi's were favoring Joshua obviously and maybe they aint interested in giving him 10+ mill paydays anymore so he has no choice but to come back to mma.

Extremely excited to see Cyborg back.

Great match-up and I'm pulling for Ferreira in this although Ngannou is dangerous I think he is declining at this point, women's match is nice not sure what will happen there, question though is this event in Saudi Arabia again.

Yes its in Saudi, all PFL PPV have to be there at this point so they can pay Francis and Cyborg etc cause this event will bomb on PPV.

would be interested in seeing if they did an event like this in US what kind of ticket sales/gate and real PPV numbers does it do?

I hate that its gonna be there but with the explanation you gave I can understand why so it is what it is I guess, this is gonna be a sick card btw.

If they held this event in the U.S all the UFC drones would not pay attention to it sadly, I gotta be honest and I know this will be unpopular but I've enjoyed PFL way more than UFC lately
the matched are more intriguing especially this HW title fight where as UFC put on Aspinall vs Blaydes which don't get me wrong Tom is the best moment but still that was a squash match to me that the outcome was obvious also the upcoming DDP vs Adesanya while this might be entertaining its bullshit just to get Izzy the belt back for marketing so there's an agenda there.

I have kept up to date on UFC cards but a lot of the fight night cards I skip just because I don't care for the fighters or the match-ups yet there are sheep that will purchase every freaking UFC cards for like $90 lol, I think they do this because there's an illusion that UFC
has the very best fighters which is debatable imo they definitely have the largest roster and the majority of the top talent however the fact that Dana won't have cross promotional challenge matches like boxing would do to unify titles I don't think they can claim that but or course its better to claim such a thing and get noobs to believe it, much easier than actually having to put it on the line, for instance I believe UFC HW division is weak except for Tom and he can clean out this weak division which he is close to doing, I think the challenge for him would be the winner of Ferreira vs Ngannou those 2 are more dangerous
than anyone in UFC right now.

Dana is a good business man no question about it but he is awful for the fans imo, the quality of the cards that UFC puts out and the fact that people I speak with including myself skip many of these cards says a lot, I feel like the marketing and story line around these fights has become more important than the fights themselves to appeal to average people who otherwise would never watch mma and that's who he is catering to at this point. When I watch PFL so far this year its just about the match-ups and there is very little story line or fake drama plus I have just enjoyed the events much more for this reason.

I skip most UFC fight nights nowadays, then watch the one or two bouts I am interested in later
