The Professional Fighters League continues its 2021 regular season tonight (May 6) from Atlantic City, NJ.
PFL’s Week 3 sees former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum make his promotional debut against Renan Ferreira. Meanwhile, top women’s lightweight Kayla Harrison returns to the cage against Mariana Morais. Mohamed Usman, younger brother of UFC champ Kamaru, is also on the main card as he takes on Brandon Sayles.
The deal for the regular season is that everyone competes twice, with three five-minute rounds (but no elbows), and the points system works as follows:
Win - 3 pts
First round stoppage - 3 bonus pts
Second round stoppage - 2 bonus pts
Third round stoppage - 1 bonus pt
Draw - 1 pt for each fighter
Loss - 0 points
Week 3 is all about the heavyweights and women’s lightweights, and Bloody Elbow is the place to be to discuss the event.
