At welterweight, Abubakar Nurmagomedov (Khabib's Cousin-Brother) is replacing #2 seed Joao Zeferino due to injury.

At middleweight, Eddie Gordon is replacing #3 seed Shamil Gamzatov due to injury.

I like Rick Story to win the WW bracket.

I am so f-ing disappointed there is no betting on this card anywhere! PFL is pretty big now i mean how is it possible there aint no place to bet on this card

 

[Workaholic]

This is a great card

PFL really delivered in season 1, hopefully they keep it up all the way to the final

Ya it's looking really promising. I think they are going to grow fast. The 1 Million is going to attract a lot of attention from fighters.

Real unfortunate since Shamil was one of the favorites to reach the finals.

The prelims start with some Nurmagomedov action. Nice.

ABUBAKAR TIME!

 

[Kinger85]

I'll be watching. No alternate bouts at all this week?

Saw a DC interview today. He had a really strange way of pronouncing Abubakar. Called him something like Mnap. Never heard someone call him that before, a nickname?



Supposedly, Abubakar got a really big black eye after getting slugged by Conor

I forget, what did the first post say about cancelled bouts?

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Well, all I can find is a muted asian (I do not know which language) broadcast on PFL's facebook page, I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

 

[Kinger85]

stream up but yeah, no audio.

There's also an alternate broadcast, a "hangout" where fighters comment on it like a twitch-style broadcast, I saw Nate Quarry talking on it a minute ago.

Once again, PFL botched something in production. Cmon guys, I know you can get it together to have a cohesive product that everyone can see. It's good at least that it's messed up during the pre-fight talk instead of the actual fights themselves...for now.
