The PFL 10 was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Professional Fighters League that took place on November 24, 2023, at The Anthem in Washington, D.C., United States. This was the finale of the playoffs for all 2023 divisions, with the winners getting a $1 million cash prize.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

The event marked the promotion's fourth visit to Washington, D.C. and first since PFL 10 (2018 season) in October 2018.[1]

The event featured the six matchups for the $1 million dollar PFL Championships in the 2023 season included a featherweight bout between Jesus Pinedo and Gabriel Alves Braga in a rematch, a lightweight bout between 2022 champion Olivier Aubin-Mercier and Clay Collard, a welterweight bout between 2022 champion Sadibou Sy and 2018 champion Magomed Magomedkerimov, a light heavyweight bout between Josh Silveira and Impa Kasanganay, a heavyweight bout between Denis Goltsov and Renan Ferreira, and a women's featherweight bout between 2022 women's lightweight champion Larissa Pacheco and Marina Mokhnatkina.[3]

A women's featherweight bout between 2019 and 2021 PFL Women's Lightweight Champion Kayla Harrison and former Bellator Women's Featherweight Champion Julia Budd was expected to take place at the event.[4] However, Budd was removed from the fight because she "refused to fulfill her contractual obligation" and was replaced by Aspen Ladd at a catchweight of 150 pounds.[5]

A featherweight bout between Chris Wade and Bubba Jenkins was scheduled at this event; however at weigh-ins, Wade came in at 148.4 pounds, which was 2.4 pounds north of the non-title. Jenkins turned down the catchweight bout and the bout was scrapped.[6]

At weigh-ins, Ray Cooper III and Josh Blyden missed weight, coming in at 186.8 pounds, .8 pounds over the limit, and at 146.8 pounds, .8 pounds over the limit, respectively. Both were fined percetages of their purses which went to their opponents and the bouts proceeded at catchweights.[7]
