2022 PFL salaries from Atlanta: Anthony Pettis tops disclosed payouts despite loss; Kayla Harrison second

This marks the first time that PFL salaries have been revealed in 2022.

The back half of the 2022 PFL regular season recently took place in Atlanta with three cards in three weeks at Overtime Elite Arena.

Each card spotlighted two specific divisions. PFL 4 took place June 17 and featured men’s lightweights and light heavyweights. One week later, PFL 5 featured featherweights and heavyweights. Last Friday, PFL 6 consisted of welterweights and women’s lightweights.

On Wednesday, MMA Junkie acquired a list of disclosed show and win purses from the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission, the regulatory body that oversaw the events.

Former UFC lightweight champion [autotag]Anthony Pettis[/autotag] ($750,000) led all paydays despite a submission loss to [autotag]Stevie Ray[/autotag]. Two-time PFL season winner [autotag]Kayla Harrison[/autotag] ($500,00) was second on the list, followed by former UFC title challenger and Bellator welterweight champion [autotag]Rory MacDonald[/autotag] ($250,000).

[autotag]Jeremy Stephens[/autotag], [autotag]Lance Palmer[/autotag], [autotag]Brendan Loughnane[/autotag], [autotag]Omari Akhmedov[/autotag], and [autotag]Magomed Magomedkerimov[/autotag] also received six-figure disclosed payouts.

It’s important to note that the figures given do not reflect potential “locker room” bonuses, streaming points, or promotional sponsorship payments.

2022 PFL 6 video: Larissa Pacheco rolls over Genah Fabian, clinches No. 1 seed in playoffs

Outside of Kayla Harrison, no one in PFL has defeated Larissa Pacheco – that includes Genah Fabian who lost Friday via TKO in Round 1.

[autotag]Larissa Pacheco[/autotag] continues to dominate anyone not named Kayla Harrison.

At 2022 PFL 6, Pacheco (17-4) picked up her fourth-straight win when she trucked [autotag]Genah Fabian[/autotag] (5-3) en route to a TKO stoppage due to ground-and-pound at 2:39 of Round 1. With the victory, she earned six points in the standings and clinched the top seed in the playoff bracket.

2022 PFL 6 took place at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta.

As a visibly unamused and unimpressed Harrison looked on, Pacheco stunned Fabian on the feet before the fight hit the canvas. Once on the ground, Pacheco moved into mount where she quickly finished the fight with a series of punches.

Check out the finish below.

Pacheco, 27, moves to 6-2 under the PFL banner. Her two promotional losses came in her first and third PFL fights and were both to Harrison. During the 2021 season, Pacheco went 2-0 but missed weight in the playoffs and was removed from the tournament.

Prior to Friday, her second 2022 appearance, Pacheco defeated Zamzagul Fayzallanova via first-round TKO in May.

The up-to-the-minute 2022 PFL 6 results include:

Larissa Pacheco def. Genah Fabian via TKO (ground-and-pound) – Round 1, 2:39
Magomed Umalatov def. Jarrah Al Silawi via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 3:33
Marina Mokhnatkina def. Abigail Montes via split decision (30-27, 27-30, 30-27)

2021 PFL Playoffs 2 video highlights: Kayla Harrison harsh on the mat – and mic

The PFL set its 2021 playoff finals in two more divisions Thursday, and a reigning champ will be looking for a repeat.

[autotag]Kayla Harrison[/autotag] (11-0), the 2019 women’s lightweight season winner, kept her perfect record intact in the main event when she pounded out [autotag]Genah Fabian[/autotag] (4-2) in the first round. She moved into the October $1 million final against [autotag]Taylor Guardado[/autotag] (3-1), who outworked [autotag]Mariana Morais[/autotag] (17-12) in the other semifinal.

After her win, Harrison was arguably more vocal than ever before in her post-fight time on the microphone and asserted she’s the best in the world and no one can stop her, particularly once she takes the fight to the canvas.

At heavyweight, the final is set after No. 1 seed [autotag]Bruno Cappelozza[/autotag] (13-5) stopped [autotag]Jamelle Jones[/autotag] (12-7), an alternate who got in the playoffs with just one regular season fight, with a second-round TKO. He’ll take on No. 3 seed [autotag]Ante Delija[/autotag] (19-4), who got past No. 2 [autotag]Denis Goltsov[/autotag] with a unanimous decision.

Check out the highlights from those four playoff fights, as well as bouts from the prelims, in the 2021 PFL Playoffs 2 video above.
