Six titles on the line, as well as $6 million!

A few days away from Professional Fighters League (PFL) staging the “Battle of the Giants” pay-per-view (PPV) event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, one of its biggest events to date, the promotion announced that it would be returning back to the same location on Nov. 29, 2024 for another huge mixed martial arts (MMA) spectacle.

During a recent pre-fight press conference, the promotion revealed that the 2024 Championships would also take place in Riyadh, which will not only crown six champions, but also award six separate checks for $1 million to the winners.

The regular season kicked off this past April in San Antonio, Texas, while the final qualifying event took place on Aug. 23 in Washington D.C. After five months of entertaining fights, the title bouts are set.

Take a look below for the full championship fight lineup:

Heavyweight: Denis Goltsov vs. Oleg Popov
Light Heavyweight: Impa Kasanganay vs. Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov
Welterweight: Shamil Musaev vs. Magomed Umatulov
Lightweight: Brent Primus vs. Gadzhi Rabadanov
Featherweight: Timur Khizriev vs. Brendan Loughnane
Women’s Flyweight: Dakota Ditcheva vs. Taila Santos

Brendan Loughnane and Impa Kasanganay will look to win their second championship in their respective divisions, as Loughane defeated Bubba Jenkins in 2022 to win his first tournament, while Kasanganay won last year’s championship by defeating Josh Silveira, whom he defeated earlier this year in a semifinal bout to reach the finals.

Also, the winner of Denis Goltsov and Oleg Popov could set himself up for a big-money fight against the winner of this weekend’s massive Heavyweight title fight between Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira.
