Johnny Eblen on What He's Learned from Sean Strickland, PFL's Future, Why van Steenis 'Is a B*tch'
What was said
"Saying that they're in a good place. Okay. And they're gonna definitely focus on the US market, the European market, and it's gonna be run very, very similar to how Bellator was ran. You know, no real tournament structure."
Asked what he is hearing ‘boots on the ground’ about PFL’s direction, Johnny Eblen said ‘whispers’ suggest the promotion will prioritise the US and European markets and operate more like Bellator, with little or no tournament structure. He added that if tournaments happen, he expects a straightforward bracket rather than a points system.
