With the Professional Fighters League set to host its first-ever event on Friday night, emotions and anticipation are at an all-time high within the sport of mixed martial arts. Born from the ashes of the World Series of Fighting promotion, the PFL is eager to unleash an entirely new world order when it comes to being a combat organization.
The PFL has a few shows scattered across the calendar for the remainder of 2017, with the idea to get its proverbial feet wet before taking the plunge into its master plan. Starting in January 2018, the PFL will host a series of events throughout a season, with a K-1-styled grand prix at the end of the year to crown a champion in seven different weight classes, with each champion winning $1 million.
