LIVE! PFL Playoffs 2 2023 Results, Highlights

Professional Fighters League (PFL) 2023 playoffs roll on!

TONIGHT (Fri., Aug. 18, 2023) from inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Heavyweights and women’s Featherweights will throwdown for a spot in the finals in hopes of winning $1 million at the end of the season (sometime later this year).

Indeed, it is win or go home.

In the main event, No. 2-seeded Heavyweight Renan Ferreira takes on former UFC fighter Maurice Greene in a battle of two literal giants. In the co-main, No. 1-seeded Larissa Pacheco takes on No. 4-seeded Olena Kolesnyk for the third time. Pacheco has knocked out Kolesnyk twice before.

Many readers check in before, during, and after the fights to share their thoughts on all of the action, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET with “Prelims” on ESPN+ and then transition to ESPN/ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET for main card action. Feel free to leave a comment (or several) about the bouts and chat with all the other Maniacs during the show — it’s always a lot of fun!
