The 2024 PFL Playoffs continue this Friday with matchups from the featherweight and welterweight divisions. Before the bouts can be made official, all fighters must weigh in today.

The event will occur at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. In the main event, former PFL Featherweight Champion Brendan Loughnane takes on Kai Kamaka III to determine who will advance to the finals.

After missing the 2023 PFL Championships last year, Loughnane has been on a mission to become a two-time tournament winner. His last victory was an impressive TKO win due to a doctor stoppage against Justin Gonzales at PFL 6 on June 28.

DraftKings currently has the former champion as the favorite to win on Friday. However, Kamaka III is a tough opponent to defeat. The former Bellator featherweight is on a five-fight win streak and has the ability to pull off the upset.

Elsewhere on the card, Shamil Musaev will face Murad Ramazanov in a welterweight rematch. They fought each other at PFL 6 in a close fight until the second round. Musaev was able to get a TKO victory after landing a devasting left hook and a barrage of punches. Ramazanov faces the challenge of avenging his loss, but he did have moments of success, including getting a takedown. After their first fight, both welterweights will try to adapt and implement a game plan to move forward to the championships final.

The PFL 9 preliminary card will kick off the event at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT on ESPN+. The main card will air on ESPN and stream on ESPN+ at 10 PM ET/ 7 PM PT.

Neiman Gracie took a few days after his latest fight in order to break down what happened inside of the Bellator cage.

Bellator welterweight champion Rory MacDonald scored a unanimous decision win over Gracie at the Bellator 222 event on Fri. June 14, 2019, at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York on DAZN. This served as the main event of the show, and semi-finals of the Welterweight Grand Prix tournament.

Gracie had a stellar run to reach this point in his pro-MMA career. The loss broke his nine-fight win streak that dates back as far as September 2013. During his time in Bellator, he has seven wins after making his professional debut in 2015 at Bellator 134 when he submitted Bobby Flynn.

In the first round of the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix on Dec. 15, 2018, he beat Ed Ruth. Now, days removed from his defeat to MacDonald, Gracie took to his official Instagram account where he issued the following statement:

“Thanks everybody for the support and for the messages,” he wrote. “What does not kill us makes us stronger. I’ll be back!”

The tournament finals of the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix will consist of MacDonald and Douglas Lima. This will be a rematch, as MacDonald defeated Lima at Bellator 192 to win the welterweight title back in January of last year.
