2024年11月29日PFL 10年度总冠军决赛 – 战卡[赛后视频] PFL 2024赛季 | 六场百万奖金总决赛 | PFL.10.2024.Championships – PFL World Championship

Joining the PFL in 2019, Brendan Loughnane accomplished world championship aspirations when he won the PFL Featherweight World Championship in 2022. He sought to repeat as champion last year but was knocked out in sudden, upset fashion by eventual champion Jesus Pinedo. Undeterred, Loughnane returned this year a man on a mission. Now after wins over Pedro Carvalho, Justin Gonzales, and Kai Kamaka, Loughnane is one step away from doing what few others have done – become a two-time PFL Champion.

A two-time Wushu champion, Timur Khizriev is unbeaten at 17-0. Khizriev is a former featherweight tournament championship winner and went 3-0 in Bellator after joining them in 2022 – joining PFL as a result of the PFL/Bellator merger. Decision wins over Brett Johns, Enrique Barzola, and Gabriel Braga saw Khizriev make his path to tonight’s title fight against a former PFL World Champion.

Will the 2024 season cap off with Brendan Loughnane becoming a two-time PFL World Champion? Or will Timur Khizriev score a huge victory – plus the championship and $1 million prize?
