The Professional Fighters League regular season ended Thursday at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with 11 light heavyweight and heavyweight bouts taking place.

The PFL has featured six sessions dating back to May 9, with each of the six weight classes represented in the organization taking part in two total fights.

The light heavyweights and heavyweights first featured in PFL action June 6 at PFL 3 in Uniondale, New York, before finishing their season at PFL 6 in Atlantic City.

Fighters are judged on a point system in the standings, with three points awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. A first-round stoppage results in three bonus points, with two awarded for a second-round stoppage and one if it occurs in the third and final round.

The top eight fighters in each weight class advance to the quarterfinals.
