PFL 6 (2022)

The PFL 6 mixed martial arts event for the 2022 season of the Professional Fighters League was held on July 1, 2022, at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This marked the sixth regular season event of the tournament and included fights in the Women's Lightweight and Welterweight divisions.

Background
The event was to be headlined by a women's lightweight clash between the 2019 and 2021 champion Kayla Harrison will face former Bellator Women's Featherweight Champion Julia Budd. However, a week before the event, Budd pulled out due to injury and was replaced by Kaitlin Young.

The co-main event featured former Bellator Welterweight champion Rory MacDonald face off against Sadibou Sy. The rest of the main card saw a welterweight bout between 2019 and 2021 champion Ray Cooper III against Bellator MMA and ACA vet Brett Cooper while Magomed Magomedkerimov was scheduled to face off against João Zeferino. At weigh-ins, Zeferino didn't weigh in and was replaced in his bout against Magomed Magomedkerimov by Dilano Taylor.

A welterweight bout between Gleison Tibau and Nikolai Aleksakhin was scheduled at this event, however Tibau pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Carlos Leal. After making weight, Aleksakhin withdrew from the bout due to complications. Leal receives a walkover win and 3 points in the welterweight standings.

Standings After Event
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.
