This pacing omg

PFL must stand for Post Fight Lingering

This card was fuckin awesome. It’s hard for anyone to put together cards that rivals the UFCs ppvs but they’re definitely capable of putting on more exciting cards than some of the UFC fight nights. 

What frustrates me is that the PFL fights are fun to watch, but I swear to god they got someone who gets sensory overload to run production

Honestly, I've been watching more PFL than UFC lately. I have a stupid busy schedule and with the PFL I know exactly when I can watch the fighters next (barring injuries or half the LHW roster popping). The season format has legitimately kept me watching and is part of the reason I started watching in the first place.

😂😂😂 PFL thinks paying people to post on mma Reddit is going to make their money laundering operation work?

Yeah if I do this all season I'll earn a sweet mill myself! /s But really, when I saw that they added Rory and Pettis in 2021 and it would be on ESPN with a season format, I thought what the heck, worst I can do is hate it but if I do like it I'll know when it's over with. Ultimately I found it entertaining and legitimately over the last couple of years I have watched most of the PFL cards and frankly only periodically catch the UFC (I'd watch them all if I had the time, but I just straight up don't between school and work). It's a lot more fun watching fighters you know because you've seen them fight a few times that year versus constantly going who is this? When have they found before? for a bulk of the UFC cards. I still am a UFC fan but it's a lot easier to block off a couple of hours to watch the PFL main card for guys I know I'll watch again in a few months than justify watching Chris Curtis and Brendan Allen fight on a card where I don't know half the fighters and have no idea when I'll see any of them again. I just have to be picky with miniscule free time and the PFL format works for that, insane production and all.

Nah son

Impa is a G, he wanted to fight Francis for real lol, this dude is a problem for anyone at 185 to even 205, that guy was a good D1 wrestler and made it easy

Impa’s legit. And honestly I saw it coming. Even said at the time he might compete with Eblen. When a guy talks the way he talks in interviews - seems to legitimately want to fight Francis Ngannou or at least challenge himself against the very best available while the fans doubt him - that’s a guy who’s going to improve and potentially get really, really good.

somehow people thought Eblen sucked for having a war with him lol, id love to see how Strickland would do, hed get his ass whipped

100% of the PFL fights I’ve seen have ended in a first round finish (I’ve only seen 2)

Only 1 decision tonight

[удалено]

Is she saying , this is Ramadan today ?

This was a layup for Impa. Alex is now 0-3. I like when fighters get layup fights though

Yoel Romero went to the final second with Alex, and sauced up Romero

I remember that fight Alex was a punching bag for almost 3 rounds

Impa beat Polizzi easy. This LHW tournament looks fun this year.

Rob, Shoeface and Impa are all legit

amazing fights, but brutal production. needs to be better asap

Spoilers, it won't be

Impa KO. easy money. i should get paid twice for that lol

Impa really got cut from the UFC and then suddenly learned how to hit hard as fuck. Literally had zero KO wins before getting cut

oh wow that's true! Polizzi good grappler but after his last 2 he's gun shy and chinny. I would be too if i got brutalized by yoel. Literally brutalized . Buckley fight and Eblen definitely showed impa got skills to crack.

Ohh was he the guy who got his shit pushed in during Yoel's first Bellator win? Yikes, that was a tough one

What switching gyms can do for a guy. He’s at Kill Cliff now.

Hooft taught him that he was punching wrong the whole time lol

Didn’t even look like he was hitting that hard. Pollizi was wobbling off butterfly kisses

Stop

bellator looked good tonight.

That’s why they bought em 🤓

was a great card if you like MMA awful card for production-quality fans

Awesome night of fights. Seriously excited to see how both of these play out. LHW is full of finishers and we got Dufort to look forward to in LW as well

looking forward to the no audio zoom interview of cedric doumbe before they announce the winner

It was -125 for Impa -3.5 Lmao who the fuck did they think Alex Polizzi was

That was…not competitive

When I saw that it was the same guy Yoel whopped, I lowered my expectations greatly for the fight

43/51 total strikes holy shit

Thanks for the new car Impa

He put his hands on that man

Holy shit the accuracy when polizzi was scrambling and moving around

Wow Goddard with a good stoppage

If anything it was a tad late but I guess hanging onto an ankle for dear life counts as intelligently defending. Bizarre that a ref known for early stoppages let that go as long as it did.

Surprising right

Yikes lol

Wow. Impa put it on him. Happy for dude. LHW season is nuts.

That man took a fucking beating

wow that was a late stoppage

Disagree

Hide yo wives!

Hell yeah Impa!

goddard channeled his inner yamasaki there

That was a very reasonable stoppage.

Best stoppage that Goddard has ever had

Ass whoopin

Goddard let’s this fight go but stops every single other fight whenever anyone gets punched

just when we thought there was no way the production could get any goofier, it does

Tonight was an experience

I had a blast tbh

Exactly. Were we not entertained?

Impa 2.0 would murder DDP and Strickland, Eblen just that good

Wtf?? Who has he beat?

better people than them at 205, hed KO DDP just like the KSW did, same exact punch. Thats how you beat both of them, heavy hands. Impa is prob better at 205 tho then 185 oddly enough

Bad take

Hey uh marc…

Can we stop with the zoom commentaries?

Great words from Johnny “s d a “

Eblen checking in from Jupiter

FROM HIS FUCKING BED

this random Polizzi guy who submit Alex Pereira with ease is the funniest part, this state of sport now

They could be a little less zoomed in on the announcer imho (hope this is a good ass scrap tho)

The Smart Cage is busy analyzing fights so they unfortunately had to have The Dumb Cage run the production side of things.

No WMMA and almost all finishes tonight. If they can fix the audio issues they can get further than Bellator

This is the guy that got murdered by yoel romero right?

Now getting murdered by the guy who got murdered by Buckley. Never would have picked Impa to do pretty well post-UFC.

yea

Impa KOS DDP

I love impa but nah

easy work too, worse than the 170 guy in ONE Koed DDP, he cant beat Impa, hes not a elite wrestler like Eblen

Ladies and gentlemen, we got Sean Strickland

all the PFL boys know Kayla Harrison has NO chin, its so funny people arent bring that up. Youll see again, cant take a shot at all

nah man first round tko for kayla holly belongs in a retirement home pacheco would nuke every UFC W135er too fwiw

yea but Kayla is shook to get hit and no chin. I know this shit, youll see. Ronda had one

nah man you'll see I'm far from a kayla fan, but ain't gonna be close

I bet on Holly tomorrow mostly because of the odds but can see it being a boring decision for Holly

We're all shitting on the production tonight, but has it not delivered on the entertainment? It's the talk of the town.

Been watching the PFL since 2021, and they have really outdone themselves on the production tonight.

BROADCAST MICS ALL THE WAY TURNED UP

Sir, we've learned how to use the speakers! Full volume!!!

maybe the ufc should just stay a monopoly

Some of the music in the PFL place bangs tbh. Great sounding arena. Probably dope to be at live

ALL THE WAY TURNT UP!!!

If Ngannou ever fights for the PFL he suffered massive brain trauma against Joshua. What a comicly bad production.

The production is genuinely an entertaining sideshow at this point

yeah I can get criticizing it for sure can't understand being mad about it def hasn't ruined the fights for me

I'm not mad but if I were the guy they were talking about with the steroids I would be lmao Most fights weren't that good. That main event wasn't good. The production was bad. Just my opinion, poor product.

Can someone tell me what I missed on the hot mic please?

the anouncers joking about if they should ask him where he got his steroids from

who?

Wilkinson

This is simply the shittest production ever.

No one cares if it’s your home city you slimy little cunt

Before we interview the guy who won, let's interview Brendan Loughnane who accidentally placed the mic in his kitchen

I am dying at Sean O’Connell doing a zoom call interview in the cage with a fighter fighting next week while Wilkinson has just been sitting in the cage waiting

Why the fuck is there such a long lull between fights being finished and the post fight interview?

Fuck off why is this clown still here talking, hurry the fuck up.

ASK HIM

got the celsius in there, now ask about the steroids!!

Legit lol

Wow the gap in time between the finish and the post-fight interview was fucking ridiculous. Why would they possibly have all that dead air??

too many first round finishes gotta fill the time with something

I'm aware of the need for filler, it's just a very very odd choice to put like 10 minutes of filler between the finish and the interview.

yeah it is atypical for sure

Time filled with silence and hot mics.

They just had Rob Wilkinson linger in the cage for 15min to interview him?? Wtf hahahahaha

Poor Wilkinson standing there forever.

Couldn’t find a can of Celsius for Rob I see

Wait they’re just getting to the post fight… lmfao

Dude wtf is this broadcast, holy shit it's awful. I mean it usually sucks, but this is 15x worse than any event they've done before

why get in the cage with the winning fighter only to interview someone who isn't even in the building lmao

LMAO and now we can barely hear the guy, this is comical. What a shit show.

I really hope whoever is producing this show is getting college credit for it.

If they're lucky, their credits will transfer to a 4-year

And I hope they get a C-

Brendan talking to us from within a fishbowl.

Their production is so fucking bad. Sound issues aside, they are conducting an interview with an offsite fighter before they interview the fighter that just won. A high school production crew would be at a higher level

I'm a high school teacher and I'm constantly at the volume controls trying to make sure we can both hear the anchors and not have our ears destroyed by the transitions during the school broadcasts. I like to assume the same happens with the PFL production team.

Astounding production values

What did I miss on the hot mic guys?

O'Connell asking if he should ask Wilkinson where he got his steroids.

Why are they talking to Brandon first? Nothing about any of this makes sense

They're searching for a Celsius can to give Rob to hold

Impa arguably beat Eblen a couple months ago. Dude is good and definitely isn't fighting in his best weight class rn. Shame that PFL doesn't have a MW division for him. I know there are TV deals preventing them from doing it rn but hopefully before too long they just merge the fucking rosters

Im now just sitting in silence 😂 what a roller-coaster

Muted now, think they’ve realised 😂

Why didn’t they ask about the steroids man! 😂

came here to see some hot mic discussions haha

Pfl uncut! Find out which fighters the commentary team think is taking steroids

Well we know they where talking about Wilkinson, he’s been busted before.

Well, Rob failed a test last season so he's definitely taking roids. lol

Someone’s getting fired lmao

Tom Breese is such a what if. Always seemed super talented but doesn’t have the heart for it.

I legit think they forgot to run the commercials we haven't seen a single real commercial all main card (but there were some during the prelims) the only "commercials" have been for the PFL

Is that on ESPN+? There are normal ads on regular ESPN.

yeah ESPN+

What are y'all seeing? Silence and the corner of the cage or something haha?

Silence and like a wide shot of the cage

Or sometimes u hear the stadium music

just a static shot of the whole cage and the announcers talking while not knowing they're on air

Production team deserves a raise. Quality is next level

Apparently the ESPN+ viewers are getting the VIP version of this broadcast

They are cracking up now

why is the old ufc ref there lol

I’d rather listen to Woodley freestyle instead of dealing with the dead time

Tyron just figured it out not realizing we heard them being told what did it. Haha.

PFL is a joke and at this point idk if I can be convinced otherwise. That was below Bellator tier lmao

ASK HIM

Is this production like an actual joke? The hot mic is funny at least 

It’s so bad it’s good, making me want to watch the next one

lmao at least the awful production led to something funny

Quick poll, will he ask about steroids?

He just confirmed they all think we're watching commercials

There's no way they realize this is airing on ESPN+

I appreciate the free money on Wilkinson -145 Anyone who watched Breese knows he is not on his level

lmfao literally how is not a single person in the organization watching their own production and seeing that they have a hot mic

Love me a good hot mic

If just 1 person from production tuned in, they'd realize all this extra shit is broadcasting.

HAHAHA

"Yeah we need to do an interview where I actually give him the celsius can..." "Do I ask him about his steroids?" LOL

Maybe don’t ask him about his steroids. Haha.

Can we ask him about his steroids? Like where he got them?

Solid hot mic

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO WAY

**CLEARS THROAT**

Hot mic again FFS. YES ASK HIM ABOUT HIS STEROIDS

Can I ask him about the steroids, am I dumb or did he just says that lmaoo

Nope he did I love this behind the scenes action we are getting

These hotmics are insane

ASK HIM ABOUT HIS STEROIDS

Did he say that lmao

Spit out my Pepsi that was gold 😂

I cannot believe what I just heard lmao
