The US-based PFL is planning to hold events in Asia and recruit Asian fighters, including Filipinos.

PFL senior vice president Loren Mack said the US-based fight promotion will soon open its doors to Asian fighters, including Filipinos. “There’s no fight fans like the Filipino fight fans, so we’re in discussion with a few fighters there. We’re keeping our eyes open for the next big stars to emerge out of the Philippines,” said Mack in an interview with PTV Sports.“You’ll see Filipino fighters in the PFL, maybe several, as we’re closing in on getting somebody to represent the Philippines in PFL in 2023,” Mack added.

“South East Asia is actually a huge market when it comes to MMA, especially countries like Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia,” Sefo told NST. PFL, which has a large following in the US and Europe, is the second biggest global MMA organization after UFC, which has been drawing flak as of late due to players’ complaints about fight purses and benefits.Sefo also confirmed Mack’s statements that some fighters from Asia could be tapped for future PFL promotions and mentioned fighters from China, Japan, Thailand and Philippines.
