The PFL has decreased prize cash from $1m to $500,000 (£409,000) as a part of sweeping modifications to its regular-season format.
The group stage has been scrapped, with the event switching to a single elimination format that features first spherical, semi-finals and finals.
The PFL has added two weight courses – middleweight and bantamweight – to take the full to eight.
The opening first-round occasion will probably be held on 3 April in response to a press launch, however no areas or fights have been introduced.
The finals will happen throughout three occasions in August quite than a single combat evening as in earlier years.
This month the PFL mentioned Bellator would no longer continue and that every one Bellator fighters would compete below the PFL model.
It’s unclear which fighters will compete within the PFL event and who will compete in standalone combat nights this 12 months.
Britain’s Dakota Ditcheva won the women’s flyweight tournament – and $1m in prize cash – final 12 months.
It’s unsure whether or not she is going to choose to compete in one other season within the US given she has mentioned she needs to compete on home soil in Manchester this 12 months and that the winner of every weight class will probably be topped PFL event champion quite than PFL world champion.
The 64 fighters who will compete within the event will probably be introduced in February.
Brendan Loughnane is the one different Briton to win a PFL event, claiming the featherweight title and $1m in prize cash in 2022.
