PFL doesn't allow elbows. Reason being with their season format elbows are more likely to cut someone and prevent them from taking the next fight

Now, the elbows to the body they guy landed should be legal.

The reason is the seasons as I said.

They don't want two different rulesets so it's just a blanket rule.

It's free on their youtube iirc.
They fight in a square pit with raised sides.
GSP usually does commentary.
It's pretty fun.

Also, their end of the year card is going to be a PPV which I'm just going to guess puts truth in the 'we have money' rumors being reported.

Foul Fowl posted:

tremendous fight but why is merab fighting everyone before he becomes champ. my prediction is a repeat of the sterling/yan dynamic, ie that merab crushes the guy who sterling barely beat

Simple reason, Dana doesn't like that he said he wouldn't fight his friend and teammate Aljo for the belt

Anyone wants to stay up for the last card of the year Rizin 45 is on

First few fights are free on youtubes

Rizin card was pretty good. Very long. 9 hours long



Also, Conor did in fact make an announcement for his return.
Will be against Chandler (shocking) at 185lbs on the June card for International Fight Week. Think that would be UFC 302.

It is Conor so still take it with a massive grain of salt.
Aside from the fact 'i'll believe it when i see it" for him to fight ever again.
Might just be a reference to them from their TUF
