“We're in a whole other fucking stratosphere now. I mean, I'm competing with all the majors. Those guys aren't my competition. So good luck to them all. I wish them all the best.” That's ya boi Dana White talking to the media about last week's news of Jake Paul and Nikisa Bidarian's Most Valuable Promotions absorbing the PFL to create the world's second-largest MMA promotion. No big deal, he says. And maybe Dana White is telling the truth. The UFC is in another fucking stratosphere now from anybody we've previously seen try their hand at MMA promotion. Except ... hold on now ... if the UFC ain't sweatin' MVP, why'd they recently run out real quick and re-sign Robelis Despaigne and Salahdine Parnasse, effectively stealing away two of MVP's potential stars? And why is Dana White mischievously sending out smiley-face emojis when asked about brand-new free agent Usman Nurmagomedov? Does that seem like a man comfortably in another fucking stratosphere than his opponents? We discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sean Sheehan is back to review the loaded Professional Fighters League card which went down on Friday July 31 at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. PFL New York featured arguably the promotion's top two stars defending their undefeated records in the main and co-main events.

The undercard was also filled with top prospects like Sean Gauci, Levan Khabalaev and Lazaro Dayron, who looked to enter the Most Valuable Promotions era of PFL on a positive note.
