This is the second of six matches that will lead to the league championship for the Professional Fighters League (PFL).<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate prize? Bragging rights. Oh, and a few ($1 million!) dollars. For the third season in a row, the PFL will award this large cash prize to the winning fighter in each weight division [link to blog 1].

Fighters know what they\u2019ll be paid upfront, and receive a set amount of money for showing up to the match. However, additional payouts still depend on if the fighter wins or loses, and their standing in the league. For example, Natan Schulte, who would go on to win Season 2, did not receive a win bonus of $25,000 even though he won his match because he was paid $50,000 to start. Other fighters would have to win their fight to receive the extra $25,000. And fighters can walk away with nothing if they don\u2019t make weight [link to blog 1].<\/p>\n<p>Who won last year?<\/p>\n<p>The last Championship for the PFL took place on December 31, 2019 at Madison Square Garden, and saw victories for the following fighters:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 <strong>Women&#8217;s Lightweight (155 lb)<\/strong>: United States\u2019 Kayla Harrison<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 <strong>Featherweight (145 lb)<\/strong>: United States\u2019 Lance Palmer<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 <strong>Lightweight (155 lb)<\/strong>: Brazil\u2019s Natan Schulte<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 <strong>Welterweight (170 lb)<\/strong>: United States\u2019 Ray Cooper III<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 <strong>Light Heavyweight (205 lb)<\/strong>: Argentina\u2019s Emiliano Sordi<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00a0 <strong>Heavyweight (265 lb)<\/strong>: Russia\u2019s Ali Isayev<\/p>\n<p>While the 2020 season was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, each of the potential participants received $1,000 a month for not fighting in the league.
