List of current PFL fighters

The Professional Fighters League, formerly known as the World Series of Fighting prior to April 2017, is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion that was started in 2012 and based in Washington, District of Columbia.

The 2020 PFL season consists of seven regular-season events, a bracket-style playoff, and a $10 million postseason prize pool. The season begins with 72 athletes, 12 in each of the six different weight-classes, with one fighter in each division earning the title of champion.[1][2]

The PFL postseason will be held in October on consecutive Saturday nights, with a win-or-go-home elimination format. The season-ending event will feature championship fights for each of the six weight classes on New Year's Eve in prime time. The six champions will earn $1 million each in prize money.[3][2]

gollark: Probably.
gollark: Ice Lake has it actually supported and then Tiger Lake gets AV1 decoding but not encoding.
gollark: Kaby Lake has VP9 hardware encoding but for some reason it's missing from some of the drivers?
gollark: Plus some other niche ones.
gollark: It has hardware decode for H.264, H.265, and VP8, maybe VP9 too.
