With names like Fabian Edwards, Phil Davis, Raufeon Stots, and Valentin Moldavsky on the card, PFL Chicago was once again showing the lasting imprint Bellator MMA had made on the promotion.
Over a year after acquiring their rival, the PFL might have lost some of the biggest Bellator names, but others were alive in the World Tournament, which continued on Friday in Chicago. Middleweights, light heavyweights, and heavyweights saw their semifinal rounds unfold, with a spot in the finals on the line. Fabian Edwards was in the headlining spot, taking on PFL mainstay Josh Silveira.
