PFL decided to take MMA back to where it started by doing a tournament format. The tournament was structured like most other professional sports leagues, with a regular season, playoffs and then the finals.<\/p>\n<p>Ray Cooper III took part in the PFL&#8217;s first season and will be taking on\u00a0Magomed Magomedkerimov in the welterweight final for the $1 million prize money.

It brought a fresh new feel to MMA. As well, fighters didn&#8217;t have to call for their title shots, rather simply earn them. That is something that intrigued Cooper III to take part in the PFL.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BJPENN.COM Radio Ep. 106 \/\/ Juan Archuleta | Ray Cooper III | Jimmy Crute\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_xc3jfdQGYE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yeah I think this is the future of MMA. We&#8217;re gonna start doing it like how the NFL does it,&#8221; he said on BJPENN Radio. &#8220;You fight, you move to the next leg of the bracket, you fight, you move to the next leg of the bracket, and you get to the championships. So it&#8217;s no politics in this thing. It&#8217;s just you fight, you win, you move on. Not you talk so much and then you go and fight. I think the UFC&#8217;s ranking system is totally bull crap the way they do stuff. It&#8217;s not how you really rank people, it&#8217;s how you do in a tournament. At the end of the year, they go to a National Tournament and whoever wins the National Tournament is the champion. And then it resets every year. That&#8217;s how it&#8217;s supposed to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I think we&#8217;re gonna take over UFC. This is the future of MMA and I&#8217;m excited for what the future has to offer. Next year, I&#8217;m hearing more guys are gonna be in the tournament so it&#8217;s gonna be awesome,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We&#8217;re gonna change the game and the fighters are gonna get paid well. Yeah, we got around like four to five months of a break. Rest your body. Still gotta be training for the next season. It&#8217;s awesome, it&#8217;s not like you&#8217;re gonna be out for so long not making any money so I&#8217;m glad. In the UFC they don&#8217;t fight for what, eight months or a year? So this is real good how we just take off for four months and we&#8217;re right back in it throughout the season and it&#8217;s gonna be awesome, bro.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The tournament style has worked before in MMA. In the past the UFC have done it. Meanwhile, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/bellator\/bellator-209-patricio-freire-vs-emmanuel-sanchez-results-and-highlights\/\">Bellator<\/a> MMA&#8217;s heavyweight grand prix is nearly finished, while the promotions welterweight grand prix has just started. In addition, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/yoshihiro-akiyama\/one-championship-signs-ufc-veteran-yoshihiro-akiyama\/\">ONE Championship<\/a> has announced plans for flyweight and lightweight tournaments for 2019.<\/p>\n<p>There is no question fans love the tournament style in MMA. PFL surprised many this year with how well it worked, and is proving that MMA can follow a regular season and playoff format. Really, it is only good news for fighters that another promotion is out there to pay and employ mixed martial artists.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Ray Cooper III that the tournament style will soon take over MMA?<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a>\u00a0on 11\/29\/2018<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is about to finish their first season on New Year&#8217;s Eve.
