The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is a relatively new MMA promotion that started in 2018. It treats MMA like other sports and has a regular season, post-season, and championship. PFL had to postpone their season this year due to the coronavirus. They did agree to continue giving the fighters on their roster their monthly stipends despite not being able to put on any fights. This decision was originally made in April and the 2020 season has still not started in November.
