Tomorrow night the PFL World Tournament continues in Orlando, Florida with the promotion’s third event. Middleweights and lightweights take center stage tomorrow night in arguably the most stacked card of the tournament cards thus far. The featured lightweight bout contains last year’s champion Gadzhi Rabadanov (24-4-2) as he takes on UFC and Bellator vet Marc Diakiese (18-7). Diakiese finished his UFC contract back in 2023 and then signed with the PFL.

On the prelims of UFC 314, we saw a potential title eliminator in the strawweight division. Top contender and former title challenger Yan Xiaonan (19-5) was taking on surging contender Virna Jandiroba (22-3). This was a huge fight and opportunity for Virna Jandiroba. Jandiroba entered the octagon on Saturday having won four fights in a row after getting off to a bit of a rocky start inside the octagon. She was looking for a fifth straight win which she was hoping to parlay into a title shot.

On the main card of UFC 314, we saw a big time grudge match in the featherweight division with a ranking on the line. 13th ranked Bryce Mitchell (17-3) was taking on the surging Jean Silva (16-2) who was looking to remain unbeaten inside the octagon. Jean Silva has come out of no where and truly become a star over the past few months. Silva earned a contract on The Contender Series and entered the octagon on Saturday night 4-0 with four finishes inside the octagon.

On the main card of UFC 314, we saw the promotional debut of a former world champion. Patricio Pitbull (36-8) made his highly anticipated octagon debut as he took on former interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez (20-5). There was so much hype behind the debut of Patricio Pitbull. Pitbull is arguably the most decorated fighter in the history of Bellator and the last time we saw him, he was successfully defending his Bellator featherweight title.

@DonnDavisPFL @PFLMMA You’re in the midst of one of the worst PR runs in the history of combat sports. I can’t open this app without seeing one of your top stars complain about the state of your company. I’m the least of your problems, but I take issue with you claiming my information is incorrect.
