In the main event of this star-studded night, one of the most dominant fighters in the sport, Kayla Harrison takes on the vicious knockout artist, Larissa Pacheco. These two women have fought in the past with Harrison getting the decision in both meetings. This time feels different as Pacheco seems to have found a new focus and drive as she clinched the #1 seed in the Women’s Lightweight division over Harrison.

All 3 of Pacheco’s wins in the 2022 season have come via first round finish. Harrison has been dominant as well with one unanimous decision and 2 first round finishes in her 2022 campaign. With 2 of the best women’s lightweight fighters in the world, will the 2x PFL World Champion Kayla Harrison reign supreme once again, or can Larissa Pacheco beat the odds and hand the 2x Olympic Judo Gold Medalist her first ever MMA loss and get her hands on the 2022 Women’s Lightweight World Championship?

The Featherweight division is the most hostile division in the PFL. However, as seen in London, Brendan Loughnane and Bubba Jenkins have seemed unusually friendly, maybe because of their dislike for their rival, and perennial contender Chris Wade. Although people questioned Loughnane’s wins en route to the playoffs, he put all that noise behind him with a dominant win over the previously mentioned Wade in the 2022 PFL Playoff Semifinals. Jenkins, on the other hand, won 2 dominant decisions in the regular season and submitted the dangerous Ryoji Kudo when they met in London.

With the UK’s best featherweight looking sharp as ever and finding his speed and rhythm, and the “Bad Man’s" dominant wrestling and much-improved striking, this fight is set to be fireworks in a classic clash of styles. These 2 may have been friendly all season, but that will all be put aside when the SmartCage door closes on November 25 in the Co-Main Event. 

The mighty Croatian Ante Delija returns to the PFL finals, looking to win the grand prize this time as he takes on this season's true underdog, Matheus “Buffa” Scheffel. Delija and “Buffa” squared off in the first fight this season with Delija getting the second round KO. Still, what makes this fight so fascinating? Since that night, Delija has won his next 2 fights including an impressive win over Renan Ferreira with a first round TKO.

While Delija has been on a tear all season, “Buffa” shocked the MMA world by winning a clear decision against the 2021 PFL Heavyweight World Champion Bruno Cappelozza. He followed that up with a TKO victory over Juan Adams in the 2022 PFL Playoffs, showing the world that he truly belongs in the 2022 PFL World Championship. As these two skilled giants collide in the SmartCage, fireworks are guaranteed.

Since signing with the PFL in 2021, “The Canadian Gangster” has been a perfect 5-0, and will look to carry this momentum forward in his first championship appearance. Before this season, Stevie “Braveheart” Ray had retired and not competed in MMA for 2 years. Although he started the season with a close loss, Ray bounced back with back to back wins over MMA legend Anthony Pettis, with the former being a highlight reel, never-before-seen submission.

No one has been able to overcome the well rounded game of Aubin-Mericer in the PFL and he will put these skills to good use against the tricky Ray, who is looking forward to completing the true “Braveheart” story by winning the grand prize in his comeback season.

The 10-fight PFL veteran, “The Swedish Denzel” Sadibou Sy takes on Challenger Series alum “The Postman” Dilano Taylor for the Welterweight world title. Both fighters have a similar fighting style, expertly using their height and reach to strike with their opponents who usually do not stand at 6’3” as they do. Sy comes into this championship fight with 3 decision victories, where he showed a much improved grappling game to go with his already polished striking.

This will be Taylor’s 4th fight of the year, as he boasts a 3-1 record in 2022, including a devastating KO of MMA legend Rory MacDonald that earned him a spot in the championship. Will the season-tested Sy finally get his hands on the belt and a million dollars, or will “The Postman” make history by becoming the first PFL champion coming out of the Challenger Series?

Both fighters’ in this title fight have had absolutely dominant 2022 PFL campaigns, which also happens to be both their debut seasons. While Rob Wilkinson finished all 3 of his opponents by KO/TKO, Omari Akhmedov literally put his first 2 opponents to sleep (1 KO and 1 SUB), and took care of the dangerous up and comer Joshua Silveira as he secured a unanimous decision to make it to the finals.

Australia’s Wilkinson has never looked better in his career as he is now on a 5 fight win streak, with his last loss coming against UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in 2018. The 32-fight veteran Akhmedov has used his vast experience, and has looked stronger and faster than ever. Although both these fighters are well-rounded, this is another classic striker vs wrestler matchup. Tune in to find out who comes out on top and claims the $1 million prize.
