For all the fights during the PFL 1 event one thing that showed was the sense of urgency coming from both fighters in almost every bout. It makes sense when a large prize purse is on the line. Of the 12 bouts featured, many were finishes and all the winners’ earned points to advance one step closer to the million dollar prize money.

At face value when trying to introduce something new skepticism is expected and in MMA it is common. The PFL format sounds like a tournament and that has been done before and done away with but this is different.  Yes, it is MMA and the fights are still using most of the same rules, three five minute rounds and everything fans are used to but the reward is different than just fighting up a list of rankings and trying to call out fighters. The wins earn points and the points get you closer to the prize money so while the concept of a league format seemed odd before PFL 1, it became clear Thursday night in Madison Square Garden. You fight to win and if you finish you advance.

The heavyweights may have stolen the show with two high profile knockouts. One from Kelvin Tiller who if you have not heard the name yet, you will likely see highlight reel first round knock of Caio Alencar circulating the internet over the weekend. The other Alex Nicholson who fired up the main card broadcast on NBCSN when he finished Jake Huen in round two with a flying knee.
