PFL acquires Bellator, plans major format shift to single-elimination with reduced prize money.

The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is set to absorb the Bellator MMA brand in 2025, ending Bellator's separate identity. PFL plans to change its format to a single-elimination tournament, reducing prize money from $1 million to $500,000. Details on how existing Bellator champions will be handled remain unclear. PFL is expected to provide more information on their plans by January 25, 2025.
