Sean O’Connell has firsthand experience when it comes to how much the PFL can offer \u2013 as does the current active dominator, Kayla Harrison.<\/p>\n
O’Connell (21-10), a former UFC light heavyweight, joined the promotion for their first season in 2018 and won his way to the million-dollar prize \u2013 leading to his retirement where he now acts as play-by-play commentary.<\/p>\n
The current 2021 campaign is set to conclude on Wednesday, Oct. 27 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where the undefeated lightweight superstar in Harrison<\/a> (11-0), looks to claim her second PFL title \u2013 what comes afterward is where most find intrigue.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope she runs her whole career through the PFL,” O’Connell told MMA Junkie<\/a>. “That\u2019s what I hope to see. But on the flip side of it, knowing the ballpark of what Kayla is making for a season of fighting in the PFL and an estimate of what she could be making elsewhere \u2013 we\u2019re talking about her going to the UFC. It is no more important for the PFL\u2019s future to keep Kayla than it is for Kayla\u2019s future to stay with the PFL. Nobody else is going to pay Kayla Harrison what the PFL is paying her.\u201d<\/p>\n
