Donn Davis is stepping down as Chairman of Professional Fighters League (PFL).

“From the moment I founded Professional Fighters League eight years ago, it has been my life,” Davis wrote. “My vision was to create an innovative and premium MMA company as the valuable alternative for those that want or need it. We started with nothing except universal skepticism against all odds we succeeded. Now PFL is the clear No. 2 MMA company worldwide and the only other premium product.”

“Zero fighters to 80 of the top 300 world-ranked fighters under exclusive contract. Zero live events to 24 per year on four continents. Zero distribution to 190 countries with 20 major media partners. Zero viewers to two million average linear and streaming global viewers per event. Zero social media followers to 30 million active across all platforms. Today, I’m stepping down as chairman of PFL.”

“I care deeply about each employee, value highly every investor, respect greatly our fighters, and appreciate sincerely all our fans who supported this company. I gave you everything I have got. PFL global footprint, valuable assets, and market position has never before been achieved in MMA outside of UFC. I’m confident this foundation should lead to great future success. PFL changed the great sport of MMA for the better. Meaningful innovations, unique global expansion, fighter empowerment, and the company is just getting started. I’ve loved fighting to build PFL. What do you fight for?”
