If it’s August, it must be time to start thinking about the playoffs. While the boys of summer in Major League Baseball are still swinging away in hopes of playing ball on a brisk night in October as the stretch run on the diamond begins (if your favorite ballclub hasn’t conceded this season as a lost cause by this point,) MMA‘s postseason has arrived.
For three of the next four Friday nights (with a bye week next week), the sport’s only league conducts its playoffs. The semifinals commence this weekend with PFL 7. This week, heavyweights and women’s lightweights head inside the PFL SmartCage to try and book their places for championship night later this fall on a date still to be announced.
