PFL Nashville Results: World Tournament Resumes With Exciting Semifinals

PFL Nashville is here! Tonight, after a month-long island between phases of the ongoing PFL World Tournament, action from the brackets will continue with the first of three consecutive weekends of semifinal fights.

Tonight’s show marks the second PFL event to take place in the Music City in under a year. Last August, Nashville Municipal Auditorium played host to PFL 7, and the same venue holds PFL Nashville this evening, where the finalists at welterweight and featherweight will be confirmed.

Inside the United States, tonight’s show will be seen wall-to-wall over ESPN+. If you’re following along internationally, PFL Nashville is streamed on DAZN. Action from tonight’s early card begins at 8:30 pm ET/ 5:30 pm PT before moving onto the late card at 11 pm ET/ 8 pm PT on ESPN proper.

The Music City is where the SmartCage touches down for PFL Nashville Thursday night.

After a mostly successful weigh-in window on Wednesday morning, the final version of tonight’s card features a 10-fight schedule. 

PFL Nashville Main Event: Jason Jackson vs. Thad Jean

All fights tonight will be an advertised maximum of three rounds at five minutes per round, including the main event. At the top of the bill tonight, you’ll be treated to the second semifinal in the welterweight tournament. “The Ass-Kicking Machine,” Jason Jackson (19-5 MMA) squares off against undefeated Thad Jean (9-0 MMA.)

PFL Nashville Co-Main Event: Jesus Pinedo vs. Gabriel Braga III

Immediately beforehand, the second semifinal at featherweight serves as the focus of the PFL Nashville co-main event. It’ll be a trilogy contest for a series renewed in the 2023 PFL Featherweight Championship between Jesus Pinedo (24-6-1 MMA) and Gabriel Braga (16-2 MMA.)

Rest of the Card

Also on the PFL Nashville late card, you’ll be seeing the first welterweight semifinal between Logan Storley (17-3 MMA) and Maysauki Kikuiri (11-2-1 MMA) and the first featherweight semifinal matching Movlid Khaybulaev (22-0-1, 1 NC MMA) with Tae Kyun Kim (11-1 MMA.)
