[pick999]

Why is pfl on Thursday?

 

[Siver!]

Well Sherbro's, there's A LOT going on this week ... several amazing combat sports events.
I figured it might be difficult to get a hold of such a busy fight-schedule, so lean back, and let me walk you through the fantastic fightweek that's in front of us!

The most noteworthy events in chronological order:


PFL Paris: Cédric Doumbé vs Baki

The Professional Fighters League returns to Paris and makes its debut at the Accor Arena. Unbeaten French star and the former GLORY Welterweight champion Cédric ‘The Best’ Doumbé (5-0, 5 KO/TKO) will headline against the undefeated Judo-specialist Baissangour "Baki" Chamsoudinov (8-0, 3 KO/TKO) in an all-French superstar matchup.
In the co-main event, former Ares FC double-champ "Lazy King" Abdoul Abdouraguimov will take on British veteran Jack Grant.

The event takes place on Thursday March 7 and starts at 11am ET / 8am PT / 17:00 CET (main-card is FREE to watch in the USA).

Boxing "Knockout Chaos": Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou

Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou are set to headline the “Knockout Chaos” Boxing-event set to go down at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. The weight of expectation is heavy on the former UFC Heavyweight champion his shoulders following an exemplary showcase against Tyson Fury in his maiden boxing assignment in December 2023. Meanwhile, the former WBO, IBF and WBA Boxing-Heavyweight champion "AJ" looks to win his fourth straight contest to set up a potential Undisputed title-fight against the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vsTyson Fury, which goes down on May 18.
Also on the card are two spectacular Heavyweight-bangers between Zhilei Zhang & Joseph Parker and Justis Huni & Kevin Lerena, and much more action.

The event takes place on Friday March 8 and starts at 11am ET / 8am PT / 17:00 CET.

GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix

This Saturday, GLORY Kickboxing will organize (and reintroduce) the historic 8-man one-night Heavyweight Grand Prix, with the likes of “King of Kickboxing” Rico Verhoeven, Tariq "Cookie" Osaro, Bahram Rajabzadeh, Levi Rigters, and more. The winner will walk away with $500,000 and the prestigious GP Trophy, just like in the good old K-1 days.
The event takes place at the GelreDome football stadium in Arnhem, the Netherlands, and also features two exciting title fights. Donegi Abena will look to unify his Light-heayweight championship against Interim champion Tarik Khbabez, and Tyjani Beztati will try to defend his Lightweight title for the fifth time, when he takes on number-1-contender and former ONE Championship standout Enriko Kehl.

The event takes place on Saturday March 9 and starts at 12pm ET / 9am PT / 18:00 CET.

UFC 299: Sean O'Malley vs Marlon Vera

Allright, I think this one doesn't need a write-up, lol
Truly amazing event. Some would argue that its even better than UFC 300, and I can't wait to find out this weekend!
On Saturday I will attend the GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix with my big and little brother, and when we get home UFC 299 should just be getting underway, so that will be one hell of a night (IF I can stay awake though, lol, but I guess I will. And if so, I will see you'all in the PBP to catch the violence live).

The event takes place on Saturday March 9 on 6pm ET / 3pm ET / 00:00 CET (Sunday).

There's no PBP-Thread yet, but I expect @Jackonfire to be on it, like always

What a time to be a fightfan

Gosh, I hope you haven't cursed us with a weekend of weird finishes!

 

[Sad Dad]

Honestly ufc 299 has multiple fights on the undercard that I wouldn’t be upset if they were main carders. The entire card top to bottom is fucking great. One of the best total cards I’ve seen put together in the modern era. Pretty damn excited

 

[Senbonzakura]

Only will watch Ngannou/Joshua and UFC 299. I havent really cared for kickboxing much since K1. Looking forward to saturday the most. Two monitors to watch Duke/UNC college basketball at the same time as 299 prelims. Wooooooo!!! Fire

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Gosh, I hope you haven't cursed us with a weekend of weird finishes!

LoL, I’m with you sir.
If this weekend ends up to be a disaster for every event, I’ll permanently leave Sherdog.

 

[usernamee]

LoL, I’m with you sir.

but you'll never leave our hearts

 

[SkinnyClaw]

Am I the only one who doesn't give a fook about all of this except UFC 299? Will check highlights for the Ngannou fight while I'm taking a shit

 

[ryun253]

You forgot One FNF! Damn, don't think I can watch the Glory & Joshua/Ngannou fight due to my time

 

[Iroh]

We are getting spoiled as fuck. Can I say the word fuck on here? lol

Fuck no.

 

[Rum that Chimay-Leffe]

Doumbé vs Baki failed to deliver in epic proportions.

This might be the end of Cedric mainstream MMA career, if it has ever begun.

 

[Istryker]

Parker- Zhang, BIG frank-AJ later on today.

And then UFC 299 tmrw which is the full course meal and the main event.


Greatest 2 days in combat sports history

Thank you frank

Thank you AJ

Thank you Uncle Dana for the super card.


Who else is already drinkin?

 

[jeff7b9]

May the weekend be filled with beautiful violence and glorious decisive finishes.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

The UFC can’t follow Francis

 

[weaselkenievil]

Good post BM, thanks for your efforts mate.

 

[Travis Alexander]

I will be letting my employees watch Ngannou vs Joshua live today on the big screen. Big fight days are the only holidays I observe in the workplace. LFG!!!

Nice man. I invited my mates over for tonight to drink some cold ones in our home-bar, and a few of them asked if they could watch football.
I was like: “Sure, but bring your phone to watch the game, because the big screen is reserved for Francis vs AJ, lol.”

 

[El Fernas]

UFC 299 and Joshua vs Ngannou, tuned in right on time to watch the Goddard show on PFL Europe, he ruined what was a good fight up to that point.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Man, if there was provably debris in the ring, then it should end up being a no contest, but I think you still stop the fight in that case, cuz there isn't really an existing function to pause for a doctor to come in and remove some glass or something. But otherwise, as a professional fighter, you HAVE to know you can't call a time out

 

[BoxerMaurits]

And just like that, fightweek comes to an end.
I’ve watched all four events, and I attended the GLORY Heavyweight Grand Prix with my big and little brother. Was a lot of fun!

@BoxerMaurits living the life!
