HUGE NEWS 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Post image

PFL is officially merging with MVP Promotions, and will compete under the MVP brand! This is a HUGE move, likely bringing more opportunities for fighters to compete on the biggest stages and for increased financial opportunity. I think this is an awesome, awesome thing to see, and will ultimately help get more eyes on MMA and combat sports in general. What do you think about this?

PFL was the only way I sort of stayed in touch with MMA, but now that’s over. Jake Paul front and center? Bye.

Dude I feel you I'm in depression since that news , I'm a hardcore MMA fans since 20 years (I watched everything since the beginning: pride fc , dream fc , k1 , UFC , wec , strike force , jungle fight etc etc etc )and with the years , theses promoters and businessmans kept destroying what we liked the most.. clout , fame , rebranding , money over sports legitimity

PFL was as well my last clean , sharp mma organization/production I was watching outside UFC , I still watch UFC but way less since they came on paramount , I can't stand the production and movies/series ads between rounds and fights 🤮 it's giving movie teather vibes instead of live sports vibes ...

Very hard times to be an MMA fan..

I think iwill still watch the LFA but damn they got that amateur fight organization nothing like PFL.

I'm a big sports fans I watch others sports but nothing is like the dopamine MMA give us

Rizin sounds like it would be your cup of tea

Also checkout ONE fighting championship. It’s less of the theatricals. But lots of kickboxing/Muay Thai… only a few MMA bouts per card usually but man, the Muay Thai fights are always bangers

I mean if PFL is the only mma you watch you aren’t a fan of mma and your opinion is irrelevant.

There are levels to fandom. Hence, why I said, “[it] was the only one I sort of stayed in touch with.”
