The PFL vs. Bellator champions event has been revealed, set to be co-distributed by ESPN+ and DAZN. The event will be an annual occurrence, with the PFL season airing on Friday nights on ESPN and ESPN+. Bellator will return in March with one event per month for 2024, having some events on Fridays and some on Saturdays. Donn Davis, PFL founder, criticized the UFC's planned Saudi Arabia debut, calling it a poor fight-quality card. He also mentioned that the PFL's PPV product will be as premium as anything seen on the planet and that they should be announcing a new Bellator TV deal by the end of February. Additionally, it was revealed that Kayla Harrison has one fight left on her contract and has been offered to be the highest paid female fighter in MMA ever.

That PFL vs Bellator card still doesn’t really compare to a good UFC PPV Nothing wrong with that but it’s just the reality. The UFC is the NFL of combat sports
