The 2024 Professional Fighters League playoffs rolled along on Friday with the second set of semifinals at PFL 8, where light heavyweights and lightweights took center stage at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Former Bellator MMA lightweight champion Brent Primus, who was the top seed in the playoffs at 155 pounds, faced 2023 PFL finalist Clay Collard to begin the lightweight semifinals. It didn’t take long for Primus to establish his grappling in the first round. After a brief exchange on the feet, Primus took Collard’s back and held control throughout the entire second half of the first round.
