The PFL’s 2024 post-season stint has begun to take shape, with promotion officials announcing on Tuesday the main cards for all three shows.
Having wrapped its regular season just weeks ago, the PFL now turns its focus to the playoffs, which sees semifinal action in the six weight classes included in the season format. With the standings already set, these-match-ups aren’t entirely a surprise, but are now officially announced.
The PFL’s 2024 post-season kicks off August 2 in Nashville, TN, with heavyweights Denis Goltsov and Tim Johnson topping the bill. Action then shifts to Hollywood, Florida on August 16, a card that sees Impa Kansanganay headlining in a light heavyweight showdown with Josh Silveira. That fight happens to be a rematch of the 2023 PFL light heavyweight finale.
Finally, August 23 finds the PFL back at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. for its final playoff card of 2024, headlined by Brendan Loughnane vs. Kai Kamaka III at featherweight.
Heavyweight Valentin Moldavsky has been forced to withdraw from the playoffs due to injury; Linton Vassell is stepping up to fill his spot.
