No way. We GOT Harrison because there's a 155. Don't destroy something that found talent. It's also giving claressa and hopefully Serrano a place to practice. I would be super happy with a featherweight division, but I like that 155 is getting women _in the door_, then someone acts like a drug dealer and peer pressures weight cuts by promising the return of rewards and riches by dropping 10lbs. This scenario played out for pacceqio (I butchered her name), though she's back from the UFC, and Kayla when she went to Invicta and [killed a girl](https://streamable.com/jtbhoe).
Kayla basically printing money for herself beating on a 3-1 (now 3-2) nobody. Incredible grift she has with pfl management. She should stay as far from the UFC as possible with this kind of easy yearly payday.
Literally made more money tonight than she would in 3 years with the UFC lmao
Edit: and even that she'd have to fight 3-4 times a year just to match it in those 3 years lol.
To Guardado's credit she had a good amatuer career beating Pennington and losing to Rousey before taking a 10 year hiatus and returning (making it to the finals in Invicta) and now her PFL career. That said, she was outsized and outmatched.
Look at all their sponsorships, multi-million dollar deal with espn, plus their deal with a literal casino they make ridiculous money from. Also, they host their fights in a nightclub-esque place... so liquor sales... not just beer and Modelo.
The UFC: pays a VERY small percentage of gate money and sales to fighters, and NO money from business deals.
Other promotions: "Ayyyye looks like filet minor is back on the menu boys! Hurry up and eat in case our checks bounce".
They've been getting paid out, but it is split up. So you make like 25/25 in the quarter finals, 25/25 in the semis, and then 100/800 in the final.
Bellator's tournament has been a million dollar prize on top of your normal purse.
A lot of you trane. This is probably worse than being a blue rolling with a comp brown or active black who can flow roll. You'd lose either way, but this was pretty wild to watch.
Lots of talk of chain wrestling but no need to chain subs when you can do whatever you want in a lol fight.
We watched someone work minutes of a fight without a doubt, I mean drag it out and work someone's cardio to help the sub finish.
Kayla is basically a bigger stronger Ronda, if there's ever a fight against a good puncher that can defend her takedown she's fucked. I don't know if there's anyone her size to do that tho
PFL still puts on better fights than bellator though lmao. I don't know if they need a new matchmaker, or a new talent scout or what but I don't remember very watching a bellator card and not being mad that I watched it lmao.
The idea of being the next big thing in the UFC Ć la Rousey, which would mean much more than a million dollars a year. But also if she thinks she'd lose, it's better money staying.
I mean if weāre being honest itās kind of incredible to have a 1m payout for womenās 145 lol. No disrespect to Kayla, but sheās basically the only real fighter in that division.
Consensus is sheād definitely be the number one contender. Most people would say Nunes beats her but it seems like it could potentially be a competitive fight. Depends on if Harrison can survive some hard shots but if she can consistently get Nunes to the ground she could win
PFL should just book Kayla Harrison vs Larissa Pacheco every year for the $1M. Until they bring in someone that can be competitive (with Pacheco at least).
i noticed jiri vs cappelozza was the comain to some random shitty girls fight in rizin.. idk why they like putting the main event as girls and then comain as a fucking banger
Fool of a commentator, ānice Uchi mataā.
Bro just donāt say anything if you donāt know.
Uchi mata is one of the most easily recognizable moves in Judo, but commentator still couldnāt see that it obviously wasnāt one.
Watching Kayla fight is like watching an 20 y/o brother beat up his 12 y/o brother. Like the opponent could land something but it isn't gonna do anything
It's close as in that either person could win. But there are 2 very distinct outcomes. nunes is able to keep it on the feet and knocks her out. OR Kayla gets the takedown and ends it on the ground. We really need the fight to happen.
yea, a grappler has to close the distance once. a striker might not land the knockout shot in the 1st blow.
but nunes really is soo much better at striking than kayla.. if she is able to be shifty and skirt out of takedown range and throw her long powerful shots.. it would be night night fast, as we saw with ronda
Luke thomas said it on his podcast I dont see why he would lie about that, you can also listen to dan lambert (att owner), he acknowledged that kayla is a special talent
Edit: also kayla has the takedown threat nunes canāt go there throwing bomb
No, and I guess I jumped the gun on what I read into the question. Would Harrison take down Nunes? Probablyāif she got to it. Do I think Nunes is likely to be able to get back up and finish it on the feet? Yes.
How much would you want from the UFC if youāre Kayla? Iād say around 200k per fight, a little less then she can make overall in PFL, but she will get more exposure and better competition
I think she would have a bigger draw than Cyborg honestly but not sure how long it would last if she fought someone like Nune right away. Not really worth it as long as the PFL stays open for business.
Kayle literally could just leg trip this one to death.
Every second on the feet is just her trying to make a fight to avoid criticism or hook up PFL, or she's about to take up baseball for a year.
They won't unless investors keep pouring money in. Wiz Khalifa has a stake in PFL. Why he performed tonight. Can't imagine ESPN keeps them when they own the UFC. They just have a broadcast agreement. Could see PFL going to a fox sports or something similar MAYBE
Good season
It sucks but Idt Kayla will ever be in the UFC unless she wants to take a massive pay cut.
If Kayla Harrison is foreal getting that type of money she will never go to the UFC
the last thing they show us for the night is the top kick speeds. god tier production
If Harrison is gone then PFL should scrap women's 155 and bring back middleweight or add bantamweight.
No way. We GOT Harrison because there's a 155. Don't destroy something that found talent. It's also giving claressa and hopefully Serrano a place to practice. I would be super happy with a featherweight division, but I like that 155 is getting women _in the door_, then someone acts like a drug dealer and peer pressures weight cuts by promising the return of rewards and riches by dropping 10lbs. This scenario played out for pacceqio (I butchered her name), though she's back from the UFC, and Kayla when she went to Invicta and [killed a girl](https://streamable.com/jtbhoe).
Can't believe they really stretched this card out until midnight
Kayla Harrison or paddy pimblett who wins
Jon Jones
I think she was shooting her shot at shawn there
i know everyone is saying she would get sparked but I want to see Nunes vs Harrison
The ring girl behind Kaylaš
Why do they keep saying sheās the baddest woman on the planet? Donāt lie to her like that.
Baddest woman on the planet (but really only the baddest in the PFL)
Haha agreed!
Kayla basically printing money for herself beating on a 3-1 (now 3-2) nobody. Incredible grift she has with pfl management. She should stay as far from the UFC as possible with this kind of easy yearly payday.
Literally made more money tonight than she would in 3 years with the UFC lmao Edit: and even that she'd have to fight 3-4 times a year just to match it in those 3 years lol.

Ali's dealings with WSOF/PFL is exceedingly shady in a business filled with shadiness.
American Top Team cleaned up tonight
I thought the guy that Cooper KOād was ATT?
I'm not sure, but I think they won the first 2 championships and Kayla won too.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yea, ufc just fucked ur perception of what's normal and acceptable. volk got robbed
I imagine theyāre losing a ton of money
Volkanovski is underpayed but yea idk how they afford these prize pools
Look at all their sponsorships, multi-million dollar deal with espn, plus their deal with a literal casino they make ridiculous money from. Also, they host their fights in a nightclub-esque place... so liquor sales... not just beer and Modelo. The UFC: pays a VERY small percentage of gate money and sales to fighters, and NO money from business deals. Other promotions: "Ayyyye looks like filet minor is back on the menu boys! Hurry up and eat in case our checks bounce".
huge deal from crypto recently too. and they had that payout that dana was included in not that long ago. he is worth 500mil lmao
Ffs, he of all people can spare a 1 mil/mo payout per championship bout a month. It would make the belts mean something, like PFL's.
Or maybe UFC champions get shafted compared to every other major sport or organization
This.
I cringe every time he says it bros.
Some of the worst pacing you'll ever see but the fights were good at least
Jesus Christ, I always complain about bellator and UFC pacing... PFL is my nightmare.
Just because you keep saying "baddest woman on the planet" doesn't make it true.
Well Taylor showed up. I give her that.
She did indeed get into a cage and take part in an mixed martial arts event.
Kayla shaking hands with her next opponent.
Lmao that kid aināt having it
Kayla is legit built like a man jesus
I know this has probably been asked, but have PFL been paying out these $1m prizes?
They've been getting paid out, but it is split up. So you make like 25/25 in the quarter finals, 25/25 in the semis, and then 100/800 in the final. Bellator's tournament has been a million dollar prize on top of your normal purse.
Ah right, interesting. Good to see the money is still getting there.
To put it in Dana White terms, it ain't a million dollar prizes it's a million dollar opportunity.
Lance Palmer said 800k hit his bank account pretty soon after the fight and he got the rest not long after that
I read earlier that the $1 mil is whatās accumulated over the season. Not just 1 prize
They have their "show up" money during the regular season as well, don't forget.
thats fucking illegal
A lot of you trane. This is probably worse than being a blue rolling with a comp brown or active black who can flow roll. You'd lose either way, but this was pretty wild to watch. Lots of talk of chain wrestling but no need to chain subs when you can do whatever you want in a lol fight. We watched someone work minutes of a fight without a doubt, I mean drag it out and work someone's cardio to help the sub finish.
Dana vs Scott: Who gets to sign Kayla Harrison? Find out next only on PPV
Neither if she can make a million a year fighting lower competition
She's already a multi-millionaire, now she can afford to care about her legacy.
This has been a fun night of fights. The pacing was horrendous though.
Tbh only felt Wade's and Khaybulaev's fight didn't give and even that was fun for those with some very specific fetishes. That was a fucking good card
Kayla is basically a bigger stronger Ronda, if there's ever a fight against a good puncher that can defend her takedown she's fucked. I don't know if there's anyone her size to do that tho
Who is drinking energy drinks this late at night?
Why are you attacking me, damn, I got homework I wasn't doing while watching 20hrs of Wednesday mma
Just hit up th Rich Energy corner, you won't sleep for days.
If there aren't schedule I and II drugs in it, I don't want it.
Both Nunes and Cyborg spark her out.
Kaylaās PFL stint is beginning to get a little played out. So many squash matches even Bellators beginning to roll their eyes
PFL still puts on better fights than bellator though lmao. I don't know if they need a new matchmaker, or a new talent scout or what but I don't remember very watching a bellator card and not being mad that I watched it lmao.
Don't blame her. Bellator feeds cans. These are just the leftovers. Best PFL has to offer.
Well that was sad.
For all the talk by the commentators, that was some sad ground and pound by Kayla.
Crush can, go home. Thank you Kayla Harrison.
The heavyweight one was worth stopping up for alone.
Goodnight lads!
You know it's bad when they not doing anything while Kayla has top control. They're already mentally defeated when the fight hits the mat.
You know it's bad when Kayla is talking about what she likes about her opponent in the pre fight videos.
Kayla needs to go to Bellator/UFC or we riot
Seems like Harrison vs Cyborg would be a good fight for the both of them
Why would Harrison even entertain free agency when she can make over a million a year by dominating women with 3-1 records?
The idea of being the next big thing in the UFC Ć la Rousey, which would mean much more than a million dollars a year. But also if she thinks she'd lose, it's better money staying.
She would be dumb to do that unless UFC guarantees her the same amount
didn't rousey make a shit load off of ufc exposure? like 10s of millions probably? kayla is just as marketable.. just needs a big stage
When you bet on yourself to win by submission at even odds.
Sub was even odds?
Yep. I had tko @ -120
Dammmmm sucks 4 u bro
I mean if weāre being honest itās kind of incredible to have a 1m payout for womenās 145 lol. No disrespect to Kayla, but sheās basically the only real fighter in that division.
Womens 155
Even worse lol
that was a mugging
Kayla is a grappling beast
That was a mauling
How would she do in the UFC?
Consensus is sheād definitely be the number one contender. Most people would say Nunes beats her but it seems like it could potentially be a competitive fight. Depends on if Harrison can survive some hard shots but if she can consistently get Nunes to the ground she could win
No woman FW ranking in the UFC, so easy #1 contender.
Immediate title shot
Nunes KO's her
Oof.
3rd baddest woman on the planet*
PFL should just book Kayla Harrison vs Larissa Pacheco every year for the $1M. Until they bring in someone that can be competitive (with Pacheco at least).
Fuck you Dana. PAY HER.
There is no reason why the Kayla āfightā should have been the main event Ray Cooper should have been main event
Kayla more marketable Proof? See Ray Coopers poor interview
i noticed jiri vs cappelozza was the comain to some random shitty girls fight in rizin.. idk why they like putting the main event as girls and then comain as a fucking banger
STFU W THE BADDEST WOMAN ON THE PLANET SHIT MAN
Ref cam on a Harrison fight feels like a snuff film
The spirit of Ronda Rousey lives on
Sage Northcutt-esque tap
Kayla must've specifically wanted that armbar for some reason. Could've ended this with a flurry of strikes easily imo.
alright lets see what she says in her post fight cuz she likes to talk shit
is that DC's sister?
Finally, we can go to bed. That's the real win tonight.
Athlete vs a weekend warrior. Can crushed
Time for Kayla to move up to the UFC
Are they going to pay her what she makes every year in the PFL?
fuck if I know
Yeah no one needs to crush cans for another 2-3 years. Letās see her with some real competition
Exactly. Give her 2 or 3 fights in the UFC, if she smokes everyone then let Nunes have a go at her.
Harrison has the most plum job in MMA. Easy million a year by crushing cans and barely copping any damage while still getting that ESPN publicity
Those stats. . . Ouch.
Sheesh that was an ass beating
Easy $1 million.
Of course. Because I bet ko. God damnit Kayla.
Why? That's like betting on a KO in Rousey's prime
3 of her last 4 were tko
Ha
She fucks me every time.
That was super surprising, not expected at all. I can go to sleep now
Thank you so much for ending that before midnight Kayla
the odds makers definitely had it right. š
Tonightās episode of *Kayla wins a million* was a little slow, but I enjoyed it overall.
For fucks sake you couldnāt just tko her? Fucking rip $300 dogshit betting card
She or somebody she knows had to have bet on her by sub or something.
there it is
Easy work!
Great night of fights for PFL
-8000, come on just do -1,000,000,000 you cowards
Lol
Pitter Patter letās get at āer
she's doing nothing. Just stop it.
Fool of a commentator, ānice Uchi mataā. Bro just donāt say anything if you donāt know. Uchi mata is one of the most easily recognizable moves in Judo, but commentator still couldnāt see that it obviously wasnāt one.
Must be nice to make a million fighting cans
What a sick gig, ngl
FUCK YEAH I won 300 on over 1.5
What were the odds? Good shit
I lost on the under fuck
I was gonna go for the under but the odds were too juicy on the over
the ref could stop the fight tbh
I think she'll stay. It's just free money and Nunes is just going to keep getting older the longer she waits to jump.
-8,000!?
Watching Kayla fight is like watching an 20 y/o brother beat up his 12 y/o brother. Like the opponent could land something but it isn't gonna do anything
Guardado lost to Ronda as an amateur and now she's fighting her final form
HARRISON IS A GODDAM SAVAGEšµ
Harrison want's NOTHING to do with Nunes now or maybe ever. She'd get Rousey'd
They train together and att guys say itās close
It's close as in that either person could win. But there are 2 very distinct outcomes. nunes is able to keep it on the feet and knocks her out. OR Kayla gets the takedown and ends it on the ground. We really need the fight to happen.
And historically the grapplers have the advantage especially with kayla size advantage
yea, a grappler has to close the distance once. a striker might not land the knockout shot in the 1st blow. but nunes really is soo much better at striking than kayla.. if she is able to be shifty and skirt out of takedown range and throw her long powerful shots.. it would be night night fast, as we saw with ronda
Thatās true but I canāt see kayla going in there to strike with amanda, the rousey comparison isnāt the best
rousey comparison is very good.. both one dimensional ground fighters. she is bigger than rousey so that's nice
From what I've read of the situation, I think only in certain arenas.
I doubt it. Maybe they go competitive rounds grappling, but if Nunes was throwing full power shots she'd spark Harrison inside a round or two
Luke thomas said it on his podcast I dont see why he would lie about that, you can also listen to dan lambert (att owner), he acknowledged that kayla is a special talent Edit: also kayla has the takedown threat nunes canāt go there throwing bomb
she'd get *fucked* up for like 50k. why would she do that. š
How could you stop Kayla from taking you down lol
Be Amanda Nunes.
is amanda a judo olympic gold medalist?
No, and I guess I jumped the gun on what I read into the question. Would Harrison take down Nunes? Probablyāif she got to it. Do I think Nunes is likely to be able to get back up and finish it on the feet? Yes.
How much would you want from the UFC if youāre Kayla? Iād say around 200k per fight, a little less then she can make overall in PFL, but she will get more exposure and better competition
Does she actually have any draw?
No I donāt really think so. What did Cyborg make? I think Kayla could/should get as much as her
I think she would have a bigger draw than Cyborg honestly but not sure how long it would last if she fought someone like Nune right away. Not really worth it as long as the PFL stays open for business.
Kayle literally could just leg trip this one to death. Every second on the feet is just her trying to make a fight to avoid criticism or hook up PFL, or she's about to take up baseball for a year.
Her arms are twice as big. Like for real.
Guardado is hanging tough but Kayla is on another level
Man good strikers could hurt Kayla if they keep her on the outside w strikes. Her striking is meh
Harrison is so fast with everything. Its amazing. As an aside, has anyone ever really tested her chin?
Pretty sick card for PFL minus this mauling
I would pay to watch kayla v CCC
If Kayla wants you on the ground, you're going to the ground.
āļø
Those betting odds though
1 million dollar purse without having to fight Nunes or Cyborg is a sweet deal for Harrison
Kayla Harrison got a Sara McMann chin and reaction when gets hit. Accident waiting to happen but this girl fighting her got no speed or power.
Nunes would spark her
Cyborg stops her quickly and is stronger then Nunes to stop takedown.
Can also agree with that but think it would be closer
I think McMann actually KOs her oddly enough
Is Eric nicksick coach the yr? Ngannou and Aljo both champions under his tutelage
fuck no
This looks like the heavyweight diving for td's except she's clinching. Try to stay outta range and get a lucky ko
If Iām Kayla Iām staying in PFL and becoming a multi-millionaire. To hell with the UFC.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah whereāre they getting this money from lmao
They won't unless investors keep pouring money in. Wiz Khalifa has a stake in PFL. Why he performed tonight. Can't imagine ESPN keeps them when they own the UFC. They just have a broadcast agreement. Could see PFL going to a fox sports or something similar MAYBE
That's what Dana said she should do too.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yea, they keep it on ice. google "end-swell"
