The Professional Fighters League introduced a different concept in running an MMA organization during its first season in 2018. It mirrored its product after the stick-and-ball sports in America by having fighters compete in two regular-season matches, with competitors scoring points based on performance. The top eight fighters in each weight class punched tickets to the playoffs: a three-round single-elimination tournament in which the winner was awarded a million-dollar purse.
