Professional Fighters League prepares for PFL 2024 Season Championship, with six $1 million prize winners and several showcase matches, as PFL MENA crowns four champions for the first time ever I will do it.
It will be a memorable night under the new legacy of the Professional Fighters League, with talent at every level. The event will also demonstrate how the PFL intends to continue the development of its regional leagues towards the unification of the global season.
One of the central figures in the plan is Dan Hardy, color commentator, host, and director of fighter operations for PFL Europe. Ahead of a special and unique night for the PFL, Hardy spoke to Sherdog.com about what to expect, how his first year on the Bellator roster went, and what he’s looking forward to going forward. spoke.
With the 2024 PFL season over, Hardy admitted that not everything was perfect in his first year on Bellator’s roster, but there’s nothing wrong with having room for improvement.
“Promotions don’t become overnight successes. It’s clear that the UFC has been a market leader for many years, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t had turbulent times in the past. That doesn’t mean they don’t struggle from time to time. The difference is that with PFL we were able to easily forgive a lot because there weren’t that many people watching back then. I am.”
Hardy believes the night is a showcase of everything the company is trying to do, from local to global reach and opportunity. We believe it will be a spectacle that shows exactly what they are trying to set up, gaining a foothold in their respective regional leagues and growing to make their way onto global rosters.
There is no better example of what the PFL is trying to do than Dakota Dicheva. The 2023 PFL European Champion has earned a spot on the 2024 PFL Global Roster. She is the ultimate blueprint for fighter and promotion success.
“That’s true. [a showcase]. Dakota is different from the others. She won the European title, earned $100,000, and then stepped up to the global roster and achieved great success. She stands to win $1 million and a world title. This is a true testament to the PFL format. Dakota went through those two cycles, winning regional and world titles, and showing he could take home big prize money at the same time. ”
It will be a battle feast highlighted by a total of 10 athletes being crowned champions and some of the world’s best talent featuring in early qualifying action.
“We’ll start with very high-level Bellator battles in the prelims and shift gears as the day progresses. Then we’ll move on to the regional league PFL MENA. We’ll move on to the championship and win the championship there for the first time. It’ll show what we’re doing at the regional level. Then obviously we’ll go to the global championship. All fighters receive $1 million and world championships. There’s a lot going on, with Dakota, Brendan Loughnen looking to win again, and Brent Primus looking to win at age 40. I don’t want to miss any of these fights.”
For the first time in PFL history, elbow strikes are allowed in the PFL Smart Cage, responding to calls from fans and fighters alike who were missing such an important weapon during matches. On November 29th, PFL will not only crown its 10 champions, but also showcase everything they aspire to not only now but in the near future.
They listen to the fans, they listen to the fighters, and while there are still areas they would like to improve on, a special night of fights will definitely be a great conclusion to the 2024 season.
