Has the PFL overtaken Bellator?

Seems like there’s more hype around them in general, with the exception being the LHW tournament in Bellator.

I have not seen the hype that you are talking about.

Are you talking about the Underground?

Bellator would still be ahead if they were on cable tv & not Showtime IMO.

The PFL tournament format is definately more interesting.

No. Bellator is still the 2nd best then PFL. PFL does a poor job at marketing. If it wasn’t for the UG I would never know when they are on.

I enjoyed PFL last night more than Bellator tonight… so if that’s your metric, yes.

Otherwise, no.

The tournament format allows for some pretty cool upsets to happen.

IMO this season of PFL is a huge step up from their previous seasons. I have watched every card from the very first prelim fight to the main event. I am really enjoying the tournament format and the fact that each year they are getting better and better talent. In 5 years or so, their lineup will be stacked.

kayla harrison vs cindy dandois is going to look like a 30 year old man vs a 7 year old girl fighting eachother.

What a retarded mismatch

PFL definitely needs to work on signing new talent/bigger names! I really likes the first season but the second was terrible! Hate to admit as a wrestler…but I don’t watch Schulte or Palmer’s fights… Boring lay n pray :slightly_frowning_face:

PFL is gaining serious ground on Bellator for sure. PLS’s finished product is a little less polished than Bellator, and the commentary has room to grow. I think that PFL will surpass Bellator in the US by the end of 2024.

Not a chance. Maybe some day if they keep there homegrown talent but that’s a big if.

They ran a short season of it (like 4 events). I’m not sure if it was a one season deal or not.

Not sure where you live OP but most people have hardly heard of Bellator let alone PFL…

I was talking to one of the amateur fighters at my gym and said, “Oh did you see what XXXX did at PFL last week?”

He goes, “What’s PFL?”
