The PFL playoffs continue tonight with PFL 8. Tonight competitors will be hoping to book their places in the final matches for the heavyweight and women’s featherweight competitions and earn a shot at a cool million dollars.
The heavyweight bracket gives us Renan Ferreira vs. Maurice Greene and Denis Goltsov vs. Jordan Heiderman.
The featherweight bracket is highlighted by Larissa Pachecho taking on Olena Kolesnyk. Pacheco, who is very cool by the way, won the women’s lightweight championship in 2022, defeating the previously undefeated Kayla Harrison in the final. That bout was revenge for Harrison beating Pacheco in the 2019 lightweight final.
Vying for the second spot in the featherweight final will be Marina Mokhnatkina and Amber Leibrock.
