The PFL finished its 2017 season in Washington, D.C. at the annual charity Fight Night event, with proceeds going to Fight for Children. The four fight card streamed live and free online across a number of outlets, including Cageside Press and on the Professional Fighters League official website.

In the main event, former WSOF heavyweight champ and Bellator fighter Blagoy Ivanov improved his record to 16–1 (1) with a victory over Caio Alencar. An unexpectedly measured affair, the fight went the distance, with Blagoy getting the nod on all three judge’s scorecards.

Also going the distance was the co-main event between featherweights Lance Palmer and Steven Siler. Siler, a former UFC talent, worked from his back for most of the fight, threatening with a gogoplata but never really coming close to finishing the bout. Palmer, meanwhile, relied on his strong wrestling, dictating when and where the fight went to the canvas. Imposing his will through most of the three-round affair, all three judges gave him every round, with one scoring it 30-26.

In early action, Mike Kyle captured a TKO finish of Daniel Gallemore at heavyweight, and Russia’s Timur Valiev choked Brazil’s Josenaldo Silva in a bantamweight contest that opened the card.

Ivanov (15-1) will face Brazilian Caio Alencar (11-1) in the previously announced main event. Joining him at the top of the card, Lance Palmer will take on former UFC fighter Steven Siler (28-15) in the co-main event. Palmer, a former WSOF featherweight champ, and Siler, who appeared on The Ultimate Fighter 14, are both coming off losses to the final WSOF featherweight champ, Andre Harrison, who remains the 145lb champ in the PFL.

Palmer is 2-2 in his last four dating back to June 2015, including splitting a pair of fights with Alexandre Almeida. Siler, meanwhile, had been on a five fight win streak prior to running into Harrison.

Also on the PFL: Fight Night card this November will be Mike Kyle (22-15-1, 2NC), who will face Daniel Gallemore (7-3) at heavyweight with a PFL 2018 roster spot on the line. Gallemore, a veteran of Bellator MMA and Victory FC, comes into the bout having won three straight.

The final bout of the night will see bantamweights Timur Valiev and Josenaldo Silva battle it out.
