This year marked the beginning of the Professional Fighters League’s Challenger Series, which provides a platform for up-and-coming MMA prospects to compete for developmental contracts and spots in PFL’s main tournaments. The PFL Challenger Series has been airing on FuboTV from Universal Studios, but the most recent show is now the center of a gambling controversy.
ESPN reports that the card broadcast on April 1st, while advertised as a live event both by FuboTV and PFL’s own weigh-ins press release, was actually taped a week in advance. This resulted in betting odds moving heavily in favor of the eventual winning fighters.
