The 2024 PFL Regular Season closes out this Friday (June 28) when featherweights and welterweights compete for the year’s final playoff spots at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, SD.

PFL 6 2024 Regular Season Preview: Loughnane vs. Gonzales, Storley vs. Poclit

Fighting for a Playoff Spot

The main event will see 2022 Featherweight Champion Brendan Loughnane square off with Bellator veteran Justin Gonzales. “J-Train” currently sits outside of the playoff structure after he was knocked out by Gabriel Braga, but an upset victory against Loughnane could give Gonzales a shot at competing for this year’s featherweight crown.

The night’s co-main event features former Bellator Interim Welterweight Champion Logan Storley taking on Luca Poclit, who is making his PFL debut on short notice after Laureano Staropoli was forced to withdraw from the event. Poclit will attempt to spoil Storley’s playoff hopes after “Storm” came up short in his first regular season bout, but the support from fans in his home state may motivate Storley to score a big win and secure a place in the playoffs.

The four-fight main card also includes unbeaten Magomed Umalatov taking on Brennan Ward and Gabriel Braga squaring off with Bubba Jenkins in fights that have huge implications for the featherweight and welterweight playoff structure. Playoff spots will also be up for grabs during the event’s prelims with top welterweight seed Don Madge in action against Neiman Gracie and Murad Ramazonanov taking on Shamil Muasev in addition to several other huge fights.

Gabriel Braga was the only fighter to miss weight ahead of the event. He will forfeit 20 percent of his purse to Bubba Jenkins as a result and will also be docked one point in the featherweight standings.
