It looks like the event will be ending around 1AM ET. On a Thursday!

We have ESPN+ pacing so it might go quicker, but the main event is Ishii vs Rosholt which kills me. I'd wager we'll be done after 1, and that is ludicrous.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Another fighter misses weight. Seems every card this happens over at PFL!

Just bleed card.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

How ironic that the PFL LHW roster looks better than that Bush League UFC LHW roster...

 

[europe1]

PFL 6: These are the Russians that the UFC didn't want to sign because Americans don't like watching Russians fight unless they're really, really big.

And why the hell does this have to be on so late?

Ishii vs Rosholt will be FOTY.

Main Card at 10pm... with 8 fights. Ha

I'm 100% certain that this is done to fuck with European fans. Maybe those in Russia since there are so many of them on this card. It seems like something Ali would do.

Main Card at 10pm... with 8 fights. Ha

The last few events have had some trash pacing because half the fighters got pulled for missing weight. Might see some rapid fire action this evening.

 

[usernamee]

there's no legal stream online for this? I thought for a second PFL was on FP for some reason but couldn't find it there

 

[HenryFlower]

10pm main card? more like sleepy time for ol’ Henry.

Well about Russians -- I remember Yusupov said that he chose PFL because he wanted to win 1 million in previous season and after that sign with UFC, about Nemkov there were info that he is gonna fight in Bellator because of Fedor connection + if I'm not wrong he lost his last fight before signing with PFL and UFC rarely signs those who lost their last fight, Isaev -- maybe not enough experience to get offer from UFC, Grishin -- few years ago one of Russian mma commentators implied that UFC matchmaker told Grishin that UFC is not interested in him, Mokhnatkin -- not sure if he was signed while coming out of loss and I also remember a few events ago if I'm not mistaken on their website Match TV, Russian sports channel owned by Russian government, in their article about results of PFL event called him number 1 or p4p number 1 boring mma fighter in Russia, U. Nurmagomedov -- father of Khabib if I'm not wrong wants him to go to UFC next year, now he is not ready/doesn't have enough experience/something like that, Goltsov -- maybe decided to get 1 million in a few fights instead of getting payed 20000 to show-20000 to win (and you are lucky if UFC gives you 3 fights in a year), Ataev -- maybe because he returned from 10 years old hiatus and is not a very young guy.
And I don't think it's too late -- I think previous PFL events this season started at 2:00 at night and this one is at 3:00 at night, not a big difference.

Oh and about time - it's 3:00 in Moscow, in Far East part of Russia now it's something like 8 in the morning.

I think Umar will get signed eventually; he is young enough and undefeated - and Khabib will probably ask Dana to sign him lol. But there are some good fighters from Russia in PFL - Ali Akhmedov, too.
