PFL 2024 Playoffs 3 takes place Friday at The Anthem in Washington, D.C.
The prelims stream on ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. ET. The main card airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET.
Featherweight
The top seed at featherweight is Brendan Loughnane (29-5), who picked up a first-round knockout of Pedro Carvalho and second-round finish of Justin Gonzales for 11 points. The 2022 $1 million winner has vengeance on his mind after he missed the 2023 postseason. He takes on No. 4 seed Kai Kamaka (14-5-1), a Bellator crossover fighter who had decisions in his first two PFL bouts.
On the other side of the bracket, No. 2 seed Gabriel Braga (14-1) had a pair of regular season finishes for 10 points. The 2023 runner-up will take on the unbeaten No. 3 seed, Timur Khizriev (16-0), whose two decision wins were enough to make the cut with 6 points.
Welterweight
At welterweight, the top seed is Shamil Musaev (18-0-1), whose two finishes were good for 10 points. He takes on No. 4 seed Murad Ramazanov (12-1), who went 1-1 – but made his one win count with a first-round submission.
On the other half of the bracket at 170 pounds, when South Africa's Don Madge pulled out, the PFL called on Neiman Gracie (13-5) to step in as an alternate against No. 2 seed Magomed Umalatov (16-0).
