My guess is it's either a sponsor going on the glove or something to do with 300 itself.

Reebok era started with 189

200 they did the lovely gold/yellow octagon

Not sure if this is more a testament to how drat good DJ was, champs now aren't good or if divisions are so much better that's it's just harder to defend.

DJ has the same number of title defenses as all the champs on 300 combined at 11

Max and Aljo both have 3
Zhang has 2 (2 reigns)
Figgy has 2 (1 is a draw)
Charles has 1
Alex, Jamal, Justin(he was interim champ going into the Khabib fight), Jiri, Holm, Cody all have 0


Leon and Islam share the current record of defenses at 2

God drat, what a show. Unfortunately, I'm basing that on highlights because the people I watch with didn't get together for this one. I've never tried to go back and watch a show but we might have to for this one. Do shows go up on ESPN+ or is there an easy way to watch after it aired?

Whole card is on Hulu if you have that (or so I have been told. This goes for like every ufc card. )

If not, then you would have to buy the PPV via ESPN+. I don't know how long it takes but probably a few weeks till it's on Fightpass.

PFL 2024 3: Friday, April 19. 6:30 PM ET, ESPN

Welterweights! Featherweights! Nothing else going on this weekend!

In the main event, we’ve got Andrey Koreshkov taking on Magomed Umalatov in a classic Russia Fight. Koreskhov has been killing it recently, running up a five fight win streak. Umalatov is 14-0, including a 5-0 record in PFL that has been marred by visa issues and fight withdrawals that has kept Umalatov from making the playoffs or championship finals. Umalatov has looked solid when he’s gotten inside the SmartCage, but the question is can he consistently show up?

In the co-main, Brendan Loughnane faces Pedro Carvalho. Both guys are coming off losses, with Loughnane getting knocked out by Jesus Pinedo to keep him from the PFL Playoffs, while Carvalho got groundedly pounded by Aaron Pico. Both guys are decent enough, especially for the rest of the PFL crop, but I’m pretty confident the loser of this fight isn’t making the playoffs.

Next up, former interim champ Logan Storley meets Shamil Musaev. Storley is 15-2, 10-2 in Bellator, most recently punching Brennan Ward in the face last August. Musaev is 16-0-1, mostly beating up no-hoper scrubs in M-1 and Fight Nights Global. Storley will probably attempt to grind Musaev into a fine paste of Wrestled Man, while Musaev is looking to lumpen Logan’s looks with long looping limbs.

Gabriel Alves Braga takes on Justin Gonzales. Braga lost in the 2023 finals, while Gonzales is on a two-fight skid under the Bellator banner. Braga has looked pretty good, and I hate doing this, but heck, he was mostly winning that finals fight until he wasn’t.

Now we get My Main Man Goiti Yamauchi fighting the vile Neiman Gracie once again. This is a rematch that ended super decisively when Yamauchi knocked out Gracie in the second round. Whatever to get Goiti a nice and easy win. Let’s Go(iti)

The first main card bout is Bubba Jenkins versus Kai Kamaka III. Jenkins lost to Jesus Pinedo in the PFL Playoffs most recently, while Kamaka is on a three fight win streak inside the Bellator Circlegon.

The prelim main event sees Adam Borics take on Enrique Barzola. Both guys are former Bellator Boys, with Borics going 9-2, but he hasn’t fought since a 2022 loss to Patricio Pitbull. Barzola is 4-2, riding a two fight win streak.

Timur Khizriev takes on Brett Johns in Featherweight action. Khizriev is 14-0, including his last 3 taking place in Bellator. Johns is 20-3, on a 3 fight win streak, but only his most recent has been at Featherweight. I think Johns is going to be too undersized.

Laureano Staropoli faces Murad Ramazanov in a Welterweight contest. Staropoli went 2-4 in the UFC, but has since then gone 4-0 in Europe, most recently winning at PFL Europe. Ramazanov is 11-0, with a 3-0 mark in ONE Championship. He hasn’t fought since 2022, a bout against Roberto Soldic that was rendered a No Contest after an accidental groin kick. Is Ramazanov going to be too rusty? Is the fact that Staropoli is one of Jamie Pickett’s two UFC wins extremely telling that Laureano isn’t that good? Probably both things are gonna be true. Maybe, I don’t know. I’m getting into the weeds on some dang PFL Prelims.

Don Madge battles Brennan Ward at 170 lbs. Madge’s last fight came in 2022, a third round loss to Raush Manfio. His last win is back from 2021. But hey, he did go 2-0 in the UFC, that’s not bad. Ward returned to fighting in 2022, going 3-1 in that stretch. This is going to be similar to every Brennan Ward fight. Either he gets to land honkin’ big punches, or he gets flummoxed.

Tyler Diamond meets Otto Rodrigues at 145 lbs. Diamond is 1-2 in PFL, while Rodrigues is 1-0 in Bellator. The first prelim sees Romain Debienne face Thad Jean. Romain is 2-0 in Bellator, while Thad is 2-0 in PFL.
First fight starting!

And first fight quick 6 KO!

Love the confidence in wanting money but that's just levels of delusion


Google says Ronaldo made the most last year with Al Nassr at 136 million.

Ilia be lucky he makes 1% of that over his fighting carrer
