2023 PFL Playoffs 2 results: Event ends with all first round finishes!

The 2023 PFL Playoffs 2 just took place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. The card featured the tournament’s heavyweight and women’s featherweight semifinals.

The main card would be a short affair, with the four last fights ending in the very first round!

Marina Mokhnatkina would catch an armbar while in bottom position, tapping out Amber Leibrock in less than two minutes. After that Denis Goltsov would also get a submission after scoring top position against Jordan Heiderman and later securing an arm-triangle choke.

Larissa Pacheco is off to a good start with her goal of becoming two-time PFL champ as she completely starched Olena Kolesnyk with a succession of right hands.

The main even went the longest out of the four last bouts with heavyweights Renan Gerreira and Maurice Greene feeling each other out on the feet. Eventually Ferreira would knock his opponent down and finished with ground and pound, leaving Greene unconscious.
