The first bell for the latest KO Games on 888poker is set to ring on November 26, and the online poker platform has announced an aptly-timed partnership with mixed-martial arts company The Professional Fighters League (PFL).
The two brands have joined forces for the Europe Championship, which takes in Dublin, Ireland, on December 8.
MMA and Poker to Unite
While it may be difficult for poker players to get one over on some of the world’s best fighters inside the PFL SmartCage, which will soon feature 888poker branding on the canvas, there are plans for 888poker customers to get these combatants up against the ropes.
There are plans to host cool activities with the PFL fighters that will connect with poker and MMA fans. Although we can’t share what’s in store just yet, you can bet that you’ll be the first to know when we get the green light.

As the #1 fastest-growing company in MMA and the second-largest MMA organization globally, the PFL stands out with its unique sports-season format. The league’s structure involves individual fighters participating in a regular season, followed by playoffs, leading to the yearly championship matchup.
Much like in poker, where success is contingent on one’s latest triumph, the PFL operates on a “win and advance” meritocracy. In the competitive industry, 888poker has consistently proven itself as a winner, leading the way in poker technology and innovation to provide top-notch entertainment for players.
The PFL, too, rises above the competition, boasting its proprietary PFL SmartCage that enhances the real-time betting and next-gen viewing experience. This collaboration is a testament to the shared passion for entertainment and a commitment to delivering outstanding experiences in their respective domains.
