Following a busy year for the promotion, the PFL returns for its 2024 regular season next week (April 4, 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+/ESPN2).
After acquiring Bellator MMA just days before the 2023 Championship finals, PFL got to work making big changes across both promotions during the PFL offseason. As a result of those adjustments, plenty will look different in the upcoming season.
The biggest addition may be the newly formed women’s flyweight division, which replaces last season’s women’s featherweight division. With the new weight class, there are plenty of new faces to keep an eye on, including Bellator 125-pound title holder Liz Carmouche, former UFC title challenger Taila Santos and rising prospect Dakota Ditcheva.
Former Bellator lightweight champion Patricky “Pitbull” Freire and former light heavyweight champ Phil Davis will also compete in the 2024 PFL regular season.
Here are the best matchups we could see this season and early picks to win each division title.
