PFL World Tournament 10: 2025 Finals - 6pm ET 8-20

This thread is for the general discussion of the event PFL World Tournament 10: 2025 Finals - 6pm ET 8-20. Please add to the discussion here.


Used opening odds on Rasul Magomedov

 

[Krixes]

I've been listening to explanations about PFl judging going forward. PFL rules committee rep Big John McCarthy basically said wrestling won't be rewarded by the judges. One significant strike like a knee will count more than 3-4 minutes of cage/ground control. Herb Dean just said two days ago the UFC is heading in the same direction. They are being taught to stand up fights unless unless you're working for a finish. Herb mentioned the Khamzat stand-ups, said Goddard did it by the book. Khamzat wasn't looking for a finish.

This is wild stuff..

Or striking, in some cases:

And Little John should be nowhere near any rules committee.

Odds improved for Friday morning

Shi Ming +327
Bruna Brasil -250

odds

looking for a finish

Might be good to add individually to any thread for Friday or even to the parlay thread for Saturday.

And if we feel like re-betting, AS1 now obv has better odds = 4.22

Guessing a lot of the betting is based on thinking Shi Ming needs to look for a big moment, while Bruna might be able to avoid leaving big openings?

John is late with this shit like he always is
The rules and judging criteria changed awile ago but the judges and some refs didn't know how to aply it and most of them still dont
All the experts know when the fighters are stalling
All the experts that i respect say that khamzat was stalling
I was roothing hard for khamzat and i was oke with the standups
I hope guys like merab wo are masters of sneaky stalling are gonna get punished by letting them standup more often

Back open...

Only in the PFL does the ref yell at you for getting poked in the eye..

PFL used that robbery as an "upset" highlight. Trashy.

I gotta do my Shi Ming homework. My terrible memory strikes again..

 

[AppliedScience]

Magomedov had better do some smashing, knowing that ordinary ground strikes don't seem to count

He started slow but came on strong. Dan Hardy openly cheering against him.

Dan Hardy openly cheering against him.

Was the commentary saying that a knockdown by itself can result in a 10-8 round?

Either way the commentary is such trash.

He started slow but came on strong.

He made it clear that he won. But this should've been the moment he showed he's more than a can crusher which isn't so clear yet.

 

[Krixes]

Impa finally landed cleanly on Sanchez. That's his 7th KO loss...

 

[Krixes]

Dayrun vs Meredith was sooo good..

 

[emog2]

shoeface is one of my lowkey favourite knicknames ever hhaha

[emog2]

wow crazy 1st round
shoe on his face haha

 

[emog2]

booooooooooooooooommmmmmm
mothafokka
headbutt me i headkick you
and than finish on da ground
masterfull performancve by shoeface

 

[AppliedScience]

Shoeface, Bootface, Fudgeface.
A lot of faces in the fight game.

Wonder if the finishes would've gone like that anyway or these guys are even more worried than usual about the judging.

Goss had helped by turning his head into a tighter choke. But either way he was trapped. Pergande got it. Not quite as fast though as @KDR by RNC

 

[emog2]

les go popov
fok this fatboy up fast please
i want to see main event before i fall asleep
