LIVE! PFL Playoffs 3 results, coverage and full fight highlights | Collard vs. Burgos

The final Professional Fighters League (PFL) 2023 playoffs card is here!

TONIGHT (Weds., Aug. 23, 2023) from inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Welterweight and Lightweights will throwdown for a spot in the finals in hopes of winning $1 million at the end of the season (sometime later this year).

Indeed, it is win or go home.

In the main event, No. 1-seeded party favor, Clay Collard, takes on former UFC fighter and No. 4-ranked Shane Burgos in what should be a banger fight. In the co-main, 2022 PFL Lightweight champion, Olivier Aubin-Mercier, takes on No. 3-seeded Bruno Miranda.
