  • In an exclusive interview, PFL CEO Peter Murray detailed the brand-new World Tournament format the promotion is introducing in 2025.

Peter Murray, the CEO of the Professional Fighters League (PFL), has detailed a new single-elimination world tournament format for the organization, set to begin in 2023. This format will see 32 fighters in each of six weight classes compete in a series of matches, with the winners advancing through a playoff system to a championship event. The tournament aims to crown a true world champion by ensuring that fighters must win multiple bouts to claim the title, thus eliminating any chance of a "paper champion." Murray emphasized the competitive integrity of this format, which he believes will not only showcase the best fighters but also provide a clear path to championship glory, with significant financial incentives for the winners. This approach is intended to differentiate PFL from other MMA promotions by offering a structured, merit-based competition that fans can easily follow and engage with.
