The PFL return once again tonight (June 28) as the promotion head to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with the Welterweights and Featherweights looking to secure their spots in the PFL 2024: Playoffs.
The 2024 Season has already produced some outstanding performances with the likes of Dakota Ditcheva, Denis Goltsov and Impa Kasanganay all putting in incredible performances in their respective divisions.
PFL 6: 2024 Regular Season marks the end to the 2024 regular season, with the playoffs up next for those who successfully land in the top four of their weight division.
Brendan Loughnane and Justin Gonzales find themselves in extremely different positions heading into the second week of their regular season. 2022 PFL Champion, Loughnane, finds himself at the top of the standings after a first round stoppage against Pedro Carvalho at PFL 3: 2024 Regular Season. By contrast, Gonzalez will be desperate to snap his three fight losing streak and he will need to do it inside the distance to stand any chance of moving on to the play offs. In the first week of the regular season, he was stopped in the very first round by Gabriel Alves Braga.
The Welterweight table is still wide open and both Logan Storley and Luca Poclit will be eyeing up maximum points when they square off in their co-main event. Former Bellator champion, Storley failed to pick up any points in the opening week, after dropping a second round stoppage loss to Shamil Musaev. For Poclit, he will be looking to make the most of his call up to the tournament after the withdrawal of Laureano Staropoli.
Magomed Umalatov clinched three points in his opening round of the 2024 season, he will take on Brennan Ward, whose not got off the mark after defeat in the first week. In a bout that could very well be fight of the night, Gabriel Braga and Bubba Jenkins will face off in their pursuit of the $1 million tournament prize money. Braga currently has 6 points, with Jenkins still yet to collect any points. Current Welterweight leader Don Madge faces the prolific Neiman Gracie, who is in need of a big win.
