On this final day of 2018, the Professional Fighters League will be handing out $1 million grand prizes to six fighters, as we’ve reached the championship phase of their regular season/playoff structure. The top fight on the card is Ray Cooper III against Magomed Magomedkerimov for the welterweight title, while perhaps the most notable final in terms of name value sees Vinny Magalhaes take on Sean O’Connell in the light heavyweight final.
There is one non-tournament bout on the card, as two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison competes against Moriel Charneski in what should be a showcase fight for the outstanding judo practitioner.
Bloody Elbow is the place to be for results and discussing this event, which takes place at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT on NBC Sports Network from the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden.
