The PFL 2 mixed martial arts event for the 2024 season of the Professional Fighters League was held on April 12, 2024, at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. This marked the second regular-season event of the tournament and included fights in the Lightweight and Light Heavyweight divisions.[1] [2] [3]

Background

The event marked the promotion's sixteenth visit to Las Vegas and first since PFL 3 (2023) in April 2023.[1]

A light heavyweight bout between former Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Phil Davis and 2022 PFL light heavyweight winner Rob Wilkinson was expected to headline the event.[1] However, Davis withdraw from the bout for unknown reason and was replaced by Tom Breese at the co-main event. As a result, a light heavyweight bout between 2023 PFL light heavyweight winner Impa Kasanganay and former LFA Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Polizzi was promoted to main event status.[4]

The undercard also included the regular season, with the following fights being added as well:[2]

Standings after event

The PFL points system is based on results of the match. The winner of a fight receives 3 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. The bonus for winning in the third round requires a fight be stopped before 4:59 of the third round. No bonus point will be awarded if a fighter wins via decision. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. A decision win will result in three total points. If a fighter misses weight, the opponent (should they comply with weight limits) will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory, regardless of winning or losing the bout; if the non-offending fighter subsequently wins with a stoppage, all bonus points will be awarded.[6]
