The founder and co-owner of PFL, Donn Davis, posted on social media announcing the removal of the ban on elbow strikes across all PFL events. In 2024, elbow strikes had only been permitted in title fights.
New Year … New Adjustments. YOU asked for ELBOWS@PFLMMA is giving you elbows! All elbows. All fights. All the time. #PFLMMA 2025 … COMING
