Could be some competition for the ufc tbh

I hope so. As much as I don't like Jake Paul, I appreciate his perspective on fighter pay. It seems like he's taking PFL in the right direction in that regard.

I just watched Antonio Carlos Junior (cara de sapato - shoeface) talking about how he, after getting released from the UFC, went to PFL and started making much more money immediately, and also winning the 2021 PFL LHW tournament he got 1M USD. It's crazy.

It's kinda hard to get invested into multiple orgs, so that's also a factor for me. I'd rather have less orgs with more talent.

Well this could be interesting if true. Separately they actually drive more traffic to UFC but with their powers combined they might be able to drive some real competition. I like it.
