PFL Playoffs: Kayla Harrison vs. Martina Jindrová full live results.
Undefeated women’s lightweight Kayla Harrison continues the chase for her fourth PFL title in a row, as newcomer Martina Jindrova looks to stop her million-dollar run. Harrison and Jindrová will face off in the cage in the main event of the PFL Playoffs from the Copperbox Arena in London, England.
Harrison is now 14-0 and is seemingly headed for another title, and a seasoned PFL veteran already. Jindrová is a bit of an unknown but coming off a first-round TKO, and may need the same touch here to pull the upset.
In the other women’s lightweight semifinal, top-seeded Larissa Pacheco takes on Helena Kolesnyk. Pacheco has lost twice to Harrison, once in the 2019 five-round finale. Pacheco already owns a first-round KO victory versus Kolesnyk in 2021.
The top seed in the men’s featherweight bracket, Chris Wade beat former PFL champ, Lance Palmer, on his way to facing off against England’s own Brendan Loughnane. Wade is a 2021 PFL finalist, and coming in off a first-round TKO.
Japan’s Ryoji Kudo enters the cage to do battle with former standout collegiate wrestler Bubba Jenkins in the other featherweight semifinal. Kudo is coming into the matchup off a first-round KO. Jenkins on the other hand enters the smart cage coming off two decisions.
