The PFL 4 mixed martial arts event for the 2024 season of the Professional Fighters League will be held on June 13, 2024, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, United States. This will mark the fourth regular-season event of the tournament and included fights in the Women's Flyweight and Heavyweight divisions.[1][2][3]
Background[edit]
The event will mark the promotion's first visit to Uncasville and fourth in Connecticut state before it was rebranded promotion, since WSOF 31 in Mashantucket in June 2016.[1]
The event is expected to be headlined by a heavyweight trilogy bout between former interim Bellator Heavyweight Champion Valentin Moldavsky and Linton Vassell.[4] The pairing first met at Bellator 218 in March 2019, where Moldavsky won by unanimous decision.[5] Their second meeting took place at Bellator 292 in March 2023, where Vassell won by knockout in the first round.[6]

Standings after event[edit]
The PFL points system is based on results of the match. The winner of a fight receives 3 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. The bonus for winning in the third round requires a fight be stopped before 4:59 of the third round. No bonus point will be awarded if a fighter wins via decision. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. A decision win will result in three total points. If a fighter misses weight, the opponent (should they comply with weight limits) will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory, regardless of winning or losing the bout; if the non-offending fighter subsequently wins with a stoppage, all bonus points will be awarded.[8]
