Mixed martial arts action is on hiatus during the coronavirus pandemic, but the PFL will help fill the void with its “Run it Back” series.
“Run it Back” features PFL fighters looking back on their million-dollar championship victories. The fifth episode – which streams live Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET on the promotion’s YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram channels – will feature 2018 middleweight champ Louis Taylor.
This week’s episode features a look back at 2018 PFL middleweight champion Louis Taylor’s million-dollar victory on New Year’s Eve at Madison Square Garden. The 39-year-old shocked the MMA world by capturing the first-ever PFL middleweight championship, taking the title in a mere 33 seconds. The Chicago native and father of two earned the title by knocking out favored rival Abus Magomedov with one powerful left hook.
New episodes of “Run it Back” will air each Thursday through May 11. Future featured fighters still to come are Natan Schulte (May 7) and Lance Palmer (May 14).
You can hear Taylor talk about his $1 million win in the video above.
