2024 PFL World Championships Results and Highlights
The PFL cage touched down in Saudi Arabia earlier today for their final card of 2024.
In the main event, Timur Khizriev met Brendan Loughnane in the featherweight tournament finale. For his part, the Russian entered the cage with a stellar 18-0 undefeated record. However, Loughnane was also riding a wave of momentum. The Brit entered the finals fresh off a three-fight winning streak, last defeating Kai Kamaka in August.
The co-main event saw women’s flyweight contenders face off. Former UFC title challenger Taila Santos signed with the company earlier this year and rattled off three straight victories over the likes of former Bellator champion Liz Carmouche. Meanwhile, Dakota Ditcheva entered the cage with an undefeated 14-0 record, with 13 of those victories coming by way of finish.
The rest of the main card saw light-heavyweights, welterweights, lightweights, and heavyweights collide. However, the PFL MENA championships went down on the prelims, with several massive knockouts. The early prelim card also saw the return of names such as Mansour Barnaoui, as well as Gabriel Braga.
