Professional Fighters League (PFL) kicks off its debut season with a stacked roster that spans six divisions, with fighters competing for their share of $10 million in prize money.
Twelve fighters comprise each division’s roster at featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. After two “regular-season” contests, eight competitors will be chosen for the tourney field based on the number of points earned for both their result and methods of victory. Once advancing to the “playoffs,” fighters will find themselves in a single-elimination tournament that will see the winner crowned champion in his designated weight class and claim a $1 million prize.
With this type of tournament structure requiring more than just winning, it will be interesting to see who can change his style to score more points while still securing a victory.
After researching all the fighters in each field, I decided to provide some context on some of the hopefuls, sharing my early leans for who I think you should be watching for this season.... [Dan Tom]
