Founded by Brandon McCaghren and supported by Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch, the PGF is rapidly becoming the Major League of Jiu-Jitsu—streamed live and free on YouTube, featuring fantasy leagues and fan interaction.

PGF Season 9 takes place in Las Vegas, NV, from March 4 – April 8, 2026.
Competitors who make the roster must be ready to stay in Las Vegas and compete in 15 regular-season matches, with the top 8 advancing to the playoffs on April 8.
