Recap the entire press conference as the PFL Champs vs. Bellator Champs event was officially launched by PFL CEO Peter Murray

The cream of fighting talent from PFL and Bellator came together to launch a special new brand-versus-brand pay-per-view event, PFL Champs vs. Bellator Champs.

The event, which is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, February 24, will pit the best of the PFL against the top talent from Bellator on a stacked night of fights.

To launch the build-up to the event, the PFL held a big set-piece press conference at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, as PFL CEO Peter Murray was joined on stage by the fighters set for action at the top of the card.

The fighters all fielded questions from the assembled media, before facing off in front of the cameras as the countdown to the PFL’s first pay-per-view of 2024 got underway.
