PFL is now valued at $500 million, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. That's up from ain 2021. The person declined to be named because PFL's valuation isn't public.

"They now have a great option – UFC or PFL," Davis said. "We're open for business in the pay-per-view division."Davis called Rodriguez's interest in PFL a "mutual attraction." Rodriguez credited PFL's global reach as a reason for the interest. The league says it has 600 million fans globally and PFL matches are distributed in 160 countries.
