2022 PFL Playoffs 1 live and official results

The playoffs for the PFL’s 2022 season began on Friday MMA Junkie provided live and official results.

2022 PFL Playoffs 1 took place at Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main card aired on ESPN and streamed on ESPN+ following prelims on ESPN+ and ahead of post-lim qualifiers on ESPN+.

Top lightweight seed Anthony Pettis (25-14) faced Stevie Ray (25-10) in an immediate rematch from the regular season. Ray upset Pettis with a submission at 2022 PFL 5, but Pettis still entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed.

Ray would be victorious yet again, setting up a lightweight final matchup against Olivier Aubin-Mercier (16-5), who defeated Alexander Martinez (10-3) earlier on the main card.

In the light heavyweight semifinals, No. 1 seed Rob Wilkinson (16-2) faced No. 4 Delan Monte (9-3), and No. 2 Omari Akhmedov (24-7-1) met late replacement Josh Silveira (9-1). Wilkinson and Akhmedov would advance, setting up their matchup in the finals for the light heavyweight crown.
