This is not true, PFL was streaming the recent event free in their Youtube channel and when i started watching the event, the total viewers were below 1k and only during the main event the viewer count touched around 1k which is pathetic view count for a major promotion. Majority of the fights were not that competitive even though it was championship bouts.
It's weird as I see huge views but maybe it was a glitch or something because looking at it again it was as you have said and for sure they should stop playing free fights they can surely keep the channel but always stop filming the fight for free and getting it in their youtube channel, and yeah I admit they really got a pathetic view anyway here are my picks and prediction for the upcoming UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan
Beneil Dariush (3.30) VS Arman Tsarukyan (1.34)
For this fight, I think that Arman Tsarukyan is a greater offensive wrestler than Dariush, and like Beneil Dariush would surely scramble against him for sure, as Beneil Dariush will constantly go with engaging with wrestling but for me, Tsarukyan will have the power in controlling the fight just like Oliveira did, takedown defense is great with Arman Tsarukyan and I have seen him get into the distance while Dariush is seen getting tired on the 4th round and for sure because of his age I really don't know if he can manage to go the distance, so my pick is Arman Tsarukyan,
Jalin Turner (1.54) VS Bobby Green (2.49)
Jalin Turner is much taller than Bobby Green for sure he got the reach advantage in this fight while Bobby Green will be unpredictable in the stand-up for sure Jalin Turner has many tools in getting into Bobby Green so I assume that Green even though Turner is on short notice he can quickly get a glimpse of what he can do inside the octagon with Bobby Green because for me Jalin Turner is much faster and he like got power as well so my pick is Jalin Turner,
Clay Guida (3.60) VS Joaquim Silva (1.29)
For me, I am going with Joaquim Silva just because Clay Guida is old now, and for me, he is not explosive anymore, for sure even though Joaqui Silva will have the power and strikes to get this done, I like how Silva does have decent wrestling or ground game while I think I am doubting Guida here if he can still scramble on the ground against Turner because I think this is really obvious that it will be for Silva so my pick is Joaquim Silva,
