These are the twelve competitors who will compete for $1 million in the first season of the Professional Fighters League.
The Professional Fighters League has just one more event in 2018, and by the end of the night, there will be six fighters receiving $1 million checks for winning their respective tournaments.
PFL 11 will take place on December 31st in New York City at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater. The month of October was dedicated solely to determining the twelve tournament finalists, and now we have the full lineup confirmed. Take a look at the fights below:
Featherweight: Steven Siler vs. Lance Palmer
Lightweight: Natan Schulte vs. Rashid Magomedov
Welterweight: Ray Cooper III vs. Magomed Magomedkerimov
Middleweight: Abus Magomedov vs. Louis Taylor
Light Heavyweight: Vinny Magalhaes vs. Sean O’Connell
Heavyweight: Philipe Lins vs. Josh Copeland
All six fights will be scheduled for five rounds, and elbows are still banned, which has been the case throughout the tournament. While everyone would love to get that $1 million and be crowned champion of their respective divisions, $200,000 is the consolation prize for runners-up.
In addition to the tournament bouts, Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison will return to the cage on this card, against a lightweight opponent to be determined.
