The Professional Fighters League's 2022 playoffs kick off this week in New York, and a league that prides itself on innovation has revealed a new format for its postseason events.
The first of three upcoming playoff events, 2022 PFL Playoffs 1 takes place Friday at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, airing on ESPN and streaming on ESPN+ (7 p.m. ET). While the company's traditional playoff brackets will remain the key focus in each of the playoff events, PFL CEO Peter Murray recently revealed that every fight on the card will feature "do or die" stakes of a few different varieties.
