2023 has a lot to celebrate for fans, with some big matches taking place, some of which achieved record viewership. It was also the end of an era, with PFL acquiring Bellator.
But even though there is one less organization in MMA, there are still some big fights lined up this year. Conor McGregor is set to return to the UFC and face Michael Chandler sometime in 2024. CEO Dana White has also teased a fight card at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, and the company will also be celebrating UFC 300.
Outside of the UFC, the PFL will once again host a championship season. The promotion will also revitalize the Superfight division, which features Francis Ngannou, Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano and more.
Which match are you most looking forward to?
