They suck plus economy.
It matters.

Money isn’t dirt cheap to take out on loans, it’s no longer the era of .5 or 1% interests

There have been many orgs folding but this has to be the dumbest purchase of a fight org ever.

Why would you sign Ngannou without public mainstream appeal nor hardcore fanbase for a lot of money under the pretense of Ngannou as if he's doing it for the fellow fighters than doing jackshit but for himself, then letting go

Kayla
Pitbull
Mousasi
Bader
Amosov
Goiti
Pitbull's bro
Horiguchi(if he can be included since he fought for the title)
Pico - He won't ever fight for them again tho it might take a while.
Sabatello - this guy sucks ass but he's really good obviously top 20 in the world skillwise
Douglas Lima
MVP

I mean I don't get it.

This is so dumb it doesn't even feel real.

PFL bought Bellator. You listed a ton of Bellator fighters that they didn't care much about keeping.

This obviously means they did not buy Bellator for their fighters.


And that makes a lot of sense. No one in their right mind is going to buy an MMA company so they can sign a bunch of fighters. If they wanted Bellator's fighters, they would have just signed them in free agency, just like what the UFC is doing.


Fighters, especially Bellator's, aren't worth anything. Even if you added all those fighters contracts, it's a modest amount of what they paid for the company.

No bragging about how wonderful he is.. from Donn Davis. So guess that UFC bought out that option of PFL to match offer (or get Turki to step in), hope he proves his potential. I know UFC would rather have a USA champ than Movsar. Pico is a good boxer and wrestler so stands a good chance but nerves may get him.


Still waiting on news for Yaroslav Amosov "Dynamo", Manoel Sousa "Manumito",
Keri Taylor-Melendez, Ryan Bader ...

That should be a great fight if true.

Shanelle Dyer has left the PFL, she’s going to compete on DWCS this season.

Fuck yes!! Up next: Patchy, AJ, Eblen, and Nemkov

 

[MMAddict21]

Fuck yeah. I think Nemkov is next, he’s already stated he doesn’t want to fight for the PFL. Hopefully Fedor gives him the blessing though.

I've read Fedor say several times that if his guys want to fight in the UFC he has no problem with it and he doesn't want to stand in the way of what they want from their career

 

[David Street]

Yaroslav Amosov should be next I was thinking. But happy with them both in.

Vadim Nemkov says he is Setting terms w/pfl to stay if they meet his requirements.

It's all fun and games until you realise Ali is their manager.

 

[Ara tech]

Movsar is elite, really a tough test for Pico. Probably will lose to decision, Pico has a lucky punch against the elite but nothing more. Great fight !

Movsar ended up turning down the fight in favor of waiting for the title shot.

PFL is such a clown promotion.

 

[MMAddict21]

It’s literally every day with this promotion.
