Predicting all 6 PFL Finals match-ups ahead of the PFL Playoffs
Here's who we think will win each of the PFL Playoff fights and advance to the PFL Finals in 2023.

2023 welterweight PFL Playoff match-ups
No. 1 Magomed Magomedkerimov vs. No. 4 Magomed Umalatov
The two Magomeds are facing off. After everything that happened between the last two friends who fought, I expect these guys to bring it. No way are they risking an easy fight. This one is a difficult prediction because there's no way to know how they'll adjust for each other but my gut says Magomed Umalatov squeaks out the split decision win to advance.
No. 2 Carlos Leal vs. No. 3 Sadibou Sy
Bottom line, no one, and I mean no one is beating Sadibou Sy this season. Sorry Carlos Leal, you're going to have to step in line with all the other men itching for a win over the 2022 season winner.
