The PFL returned to Hollywood, Florida for Friday’s 2024 PFL 8 card, more commonly known as PFL Hollywood, with playoff action continuing.
Lightweights and light heavyweights were in action, with Impa Kasanganay, the 2023 PFL light heavyweight champion, headlining the show in a rematch with Josh Silveira. American Top Team’s Silveira was the man Kasanganay had defeated last year to win the title and million dollars in prize money; the rematch would either reaffirm Kasaganany’s dominance, or give Silveira his revenge.
2022 champ Rob Wilkinson could be found in the other 205lb semifinal, taking on Bellator alum Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov. Wilkinson had failed a drug test in 2023 that cost him the entirety of the season.
At lightweight, former Bellator champ Brent Primus faced PFL mainstay Clay Collard in one semifinal, while Canada’s Michael Dufort was paired up with Gadzhi Rabadanov in the other.
