“I am excited to be a part of the PFL in its vision to bring a new format and a new platform to professional MMA,” said Stann. “I know first-hand the dedication, discipline, and professionalism it takes to be an MMA athlete, and I am happy to contribute to their ability to compete at the highest level.”
Stann will have a leadership role on the committee in an effort to support fighters by developing procedures with respect to competition format and rules, fighter care and athlete conduct. The 2018 PFL season will make debut on Thursday, June 7 at Hulu Theater in New York City. PFL will feature 126 fights in seven regular-season events, bracket-style “win-or-go-home” playoffs and a $10 million post-season prize pool.
“I couldn’t be more excited that Brian has brought his expertise and passion for MMA to the PFL,” said Pete Murray, CEO of PFL. “Brian will be instrumental in helping the PFL build the Fighter and Competition/Rules Committee and fulfill our vision of being a ‘fighter first’ league. His resume is as impressive as his character and he will play an important role in maintaining the standards of professionalism that the PFL brings to the sport.”
