PFL 2018 playoffs: Lightweight and light heavyweight tournament previews

Nearing the end of the year, the lightweight and light heavyweight ranks will inch closer to elimination for the final show in December for the Professional Fighters League. In the third to last show of the year, some more interesting action matchups have been set, and it’s all or nothing for some of the fighters on this card.

Former UFC and Bellator fighter Will Brooks (20-4) will have to contend against the very tough Rashid Magomedov (21-2). Former M-1 star Maxim Grishin — a fighter favored by many to run away with the whole thing at light heavyweight — gets set to face former World Series of Fighting champion Smealinho Rama (11-4).
