PFL is a massively inferior product to the UFC (first time watching PFL)

I agree 100%, that’s why I’m training UFC as my base martial art, I have a friend who’s been training PFL for roughly the same amount of time… when we spar I easily get the better of her, UFC is the superior style.

I enjoy OneFC. Some good fighters, a lot of good fights, and overall feels polished and professional. They also have their own unique vibe. They are currently the best non-UFC org by far imo.

Bellator can sometimes be really, really good, but it's when I expect the best from them that I am disappointed with how lame they usually are.

Rizin, the few times I've seen it, is enjoyable, with extremely questionable match-making, a huge inconsistency in terms of fight quality, and sometimes being just a step above fight circus. But their cards are always interesting and I always enjoy them, even if it is sometimes a guilty pleasure.

PFL is like Bellator, if Bellator were the UFC.

The UFC has a lot of really good fights, even on the prelims. The production is professional, but unimaginative and unartistic. Their announcers are almost always hot garbage. I'm looking at you DC.

Great breakdown, you captured Bellator better than I did haha. And glad it doesn't seem like I'm missing anything too serious skipping Rizin usually.

I agree with ONE being the best non-UFC org. It feels a lot different than the UFC and their muay thai/kickboxing in particular has really been thriving which also separates it from the UFC and makes it hard to really compare the two too much.

Bellator and PFL have great fighters and I enjoy their events but it's hard to not see it as an overall "lesser" UFC. And I'm trying to say that as respectfully as possible, I really do think they are great promotions and glad they exist but it's hard to not constantly draw comparisons to the UFC.
 
No one has ever pretended PFL is a major org(a few years back they had the best W145 class). Bellator is the only other org where the best fighters are at a elite UFC level across the board.
 
PFL is the place mma fighters go to get money after they’re done chasing glory right?
 
XFL is a massively inferior product to the NFL.

What's your point?

First time watching PFL cause there's no UFC this week. It is such a inferior product, their constant appeal to social media, announcers with their horrible voices, and the lack of any drama in the fights.

Also, their round rating thing is weird and I don't like it. The best thing so far might be one of the announcers grilling that expert bettor guy as his parlay was failing.

This really makes me appreciate the UFC so much more. Give me Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping on the announcer table over these fools.

Sure but does the UFC have the smart cage? Doubt it.
 
The UFC has been the same product for like 10 years now. Too much talking between fights, especially during prelims. Event takes like 3-5 hours and mostly all talking.

onefc is arguably better as far as dynamics go. They do pure muay thai with mma gloves in a cage. Kickboxing. (I could do without the grappling). And mixed rules fights sometimes. I dont see why people say they are sketchy, the ufc is the same way lol.

The talent isnt there yet but its not miles away either...theres lots on the line each fight cuz of the points so there's definitely been some Stephan Bonnar vs Forrest Griffin moments .. and overall the fights have been good and since these guys will be fighting each other on rotation you can kinda for see the match ups and which ones will get u excited. ..

I dunno about that dude. I've watched every PFL show since it's inception and I struggle to think of many great fights. The Schulte Vs Radzhabov final was great as was Collard Vs Stephens. Larissa Vs Kayla III was good with the upset factor too. I'm struggling other than that tbh. I would say it tends to struggle in terms of highly entertaining fights.

Of the larger orgs, only One Championship puts on consistently exciting fights with a nice production setup nowadays. Lots of sketchy practices from what I've read, and most of their champs are prob no more than top 15 in the world, but the product is good for what it is. I should note I don't watch smaller orgs like Cage Warriors and I don't really keep up with Rizin though the events I've seen have been fun.

the mma part of ONE is their worst product tho

PFL puts on quality fights. The UFC is the big leagues. PFL is Double A. Bellator is Triple A. Watch more MMA.

Not really akin to that, more like soccer where everyone knows that the French Or Italian leagues have world class players, it’s just the Premier League that gets the most attention

there are fighters who are champs in Bellator, PFL, or ONE who could be UFC champs, they just don’t get as much attention
