PFL 8 results and highlights: Copeland starches Nicholson, Siler advances to final via DQ

The Professional Fighters League’s first round of play-offs (ever) are officially in the books. The fledgling promotion delivered some well-matched fights, a few of which were very entertaining.

Tonight (Friday, October 5th) in New Orleans, LA the featherweights and heavyweights who finished highest in the league standings fought in quarterfinal and semifinal bouts as they tried to book a place in a $1 million final.

In the featherweight division it was Lance Palmer and Steven Siler who made it through the play-offs to fight for the grand prize. Palmer won both his fights on the night with smothering, though rather dull, wrestling performances, but his semifinal win over Andre Harrison marked the first loss of Harrison’s career.
