This event featured the semifinal bouts of the Light Heavyweight and Lightweight playoffs.
Rob Wilkinson and Delan Monte will face each other in the Light Heavyweight division. Wilkinson made his third appearance with PFL cage, going 2-0 in the regular season with a first and second round stoppages. Monte was 1-1 during the regular season in 2022. The other side of the bracket was to see two former UFC veterans, Antônio Carlos Júnior and Omari Akhmedov, face off against each other.[3] However, Antonio suffered an ACL injury requiring surgery, sidelining him for the rest of the year and he was replaced by Josh Silveira for the playoffs.[4]
The Lightweight bracket saw former UFC Champion Anthony Pettis take on UFC vet Stevie Ray in a rematch of their bout six weeks earlier, while Olivier Aubin-Mercier and Alex Martinez faced off in the other lightweight semifinal.[3]
