News Patricio Pitbull lays into PFL

Looks probable that they announced 12/31 in Japan without having taken a single step to secure anything. All day RIZIN event killed the notion
 
Remember Jake and Francis endlessly complaining about the UFC’s treatment of fighters and then signing with PFL and talking about how they would advocate for the fighters? About that? Not defending the UFC’s poor treatment of fighters, but they quickly turn a blind eye when PFL gets called out.

Not to mention that Helwani (the guy who was the biggest hypeman for PFL at the time) has been completely silent on the matter.

If you'd ask me, I predict PFL goes belly up by the end of 2025 and Francis ends up suing the company for not honoring PFL Africa. All the while, Francis will announce the start his own MMA promotion launching sometime in 2026 or 2027.
 
Why does it sound like ONE, that is not giving fighters fights, ONE has very few MMA fighters and are low on money, what is PFL's excuse?
Agreed. PFL picked up some world class fighters from Bellator and they’ve hung them on a shelf while putting on events in the Middle East and Europe to sign more fighters. They should use the fighters they have under contract and then think about picking up more fighters.
