News PFL 5; HWs and FWs set for June 24

ESPN really does not give two shits about PFL. Not only do they regularly delay their broadcast if their other stuff is running long (usually college softball but even highschool baseball) but they literally bumped down the announcement of the card that got posted after the main highlighted opinion column about Glover and Juliana Pena.

Tell me you’re trying to get past season’s champ to the finals again without actually telling me. Lol They’re trying to set Bruno up with a nice 1st round finish.

Why is Wade in the main card but Loughnane in the prelims?

 

[careto]

Also, I guess they really want Pettis to advance. But also, why is Pettis fighting in the card with HWs and FWs?

BTW, this will go head-to-head with Bellator 282. I wonder how the ratings will look like. To me, its a no contest, Bellator's card is leap and bounds better but we'll see what the public says.

Wade is managed by Ali … Lough is not

I'll just watch both, will probably watch Bellator first though. Maybe PFL has a slight advantage if people already have ESPN to watch UFC but haven't got Showtime.

That makes sense regarding the cable broadcast, but why should it affect the ESPN+ stream?

Oh I'll watch both of them, too. I'll watch Bellator live, though and catch up with PFL on Saturday before the UFC.

TONS of Pullouts, off course Ali Isaev pulled out again. I don't think he is ever fighting again.

Stuart Austin, Ali Isaev, Jamelle Jones, Saba Bolaghi, Boston Salmon out

Shelton Graves, Maurice Greene, Juan Adams, Reinaldo Ekson, Ago Huskic in

OK, my PFL parlays are gone...
Juan Adams and Maurice Greene are decent late additions, though. No idea who are Huskic or Graves.

**edit** just looked into them, they are definitely sacrificial lambs for Loughnane and Delija.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Haven't heard from Shelton Graves in a couple of years, figured he'd retired tbh.

This model is not working… if you a losing fighters left and right … with this condensed schedule

 

[Thesnake101]

Hope Adams gets a first round finish and makes it to the playoffs tbh. Would be funny to see another busted prospect get the chance to redeem himself in the PFL HW div.

It's weird with all the favorism Pettis gets and they don't even give him top billing.

 

[CatchnShoot]

Time for Pettis to call it a day.
It's sad, but Father time is undefeated

 

[trinerigelado2]

No whats really awesome? Announce a season format and have the first tiebreaker not be win percentage but finishes. That way the guy who's 2-0 in the season loses a playoff spot to a guy he just dominated who's 1-1

 

[careto]

Man, Ferreira got exposed BAD! zero ground game, zero tdd. It never fails, I tell my semi-hardcore friends to wach out for someone and they put as abysmal performance...

 

[norsuu]

anyone reached to see ferreira vs abreu? its almost imposible to find
