Since PFL got rid of the two fight a night event, I wonder how they are gonna fill the rest of the cards? Is it gonna be fighters who didn't make the playoffs, ala Werdum, Isaev, etc. or just random fights to select fighters for next season or whatever "PPV division" is.
How is Kayla Harrison the #2 seed?
Isn't she undefeated and reigning champ or reigning tournament champ?
I don't follow PFL obviously but have been keeping a distant eye on Harrison.
Ok, cool, that makes sense.It's based on points. Pachecho and Kayla had equal points so then it comes down to a tie breaker of who won their fights in the shortest cumulative time.
A previous loss in the season/tournament and that he didn't beat Rory with a finish in the 1st or 2nd round finish.

Ray cooper missed weight so he was only entitled to -1 points. And had a first round finish before that.Why does Cooper have 5 points and Nikolai 4?
Cooper defeated Nikolai by UD. Was that reversed or something?
Only three Champions are in the Playoffs, a LOT of upsets this year.
Also, how was Martinez selected to be in the Playoffs??
I know that he was in the bunch that had like four fighters with three points, but if we use math (most of the times doesn't work), he lost to Schulte and won his previous fight via Split Decisión, while at the same time Held had the same amount of points and BEAT Schulte, Held should have been in the Playoffs IMO
It's because his win was against Radzhabov who won his other fight via first round finish. So strength of schedule, in a seasonal points sense at least.Only three Champions are in the Playoffs, a LOT of upsets this year.

An idea would have been to make a split decision only worth 2 points because I do agree that his iffy split decision shouldn't mean as much as a definitive win like Held had over Schulte. By the same token maybe a split decision loss could be worth 1 point. Not something I've thought about too deeply so maybe that's a terrible idea for some reason I'm not thinking of right now lol.
There's a million ways to criticize PFL, but this is an odd one.The LW playoffs are a fucking joke. Martinez and Manfio have no business being there.
