Broadcast and streaming info
PFL 2024 Playoffs 2 takes place Friday at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
The prelims stream on ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET. The main card airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET.
Light heavyweight
The top seed at light heavyweight is Impa Kasanganay (17-4), who was the 2023 $1 million winner. He takes on No. 4 seed Josh Silveira (13-3) in the headliner. Kasanganay, who dropped a split decision to Bellator champ Johnny Eblen in February, breezed into the postseason with finishes of Alex Polizzi and Jakob Nedoh. Silveira lost to Rob Wilkinson in his second regular season fight, but his first-round stoppage of Sadibou Sy gave him enough to get the No. 4 spot.
In the 2-3 seed position is Wilkinson (19-2) vs. Dovlet Yagshimuradov (23-7-1). Wilkinson is coming off a PED suspension in 2024, but he had a quick finish of Tom Breese and his split call over Silveira to get the No. 2 spot. Yagshimuradov outworked Simon Biyong in June and knocked out Nedoh in April to get the No. 3 spot.
Lightweight
Former Bellator champion Brent Primus (14-3) earned the No. 1 seed with a second-round finish of Bruno Miranda and a third-round stoppage of Solomon Renfro. Both were rear-naked chokes. He’ll take on former UFC fighter Clay Collard (25-13), who is looking for redemption in the playoffs after a 2023 loss to Olivier Aubin-Mercier in the final. In this regular season, his second-round finish of ex-Bellator champ Patricky Freire was enough to get him in despite a loss to Mads Burnell in his second fight.
On the other side of the bracket, No. 2 Gadzhi Rabadanov (22-4-2) meets Michael Dufort (13-5). Rabadanov ran his winning streak to eight in the regular seaeson with decisions over Renfro and Elvin Espinoza. Dufort submitted Mads Burnell in his first regular season fight, and those 5 points were enough to get him in despite a loss to Adam Piccolotti in June.
