Mads Burnell ‘just thinking about whooping ass’ instead of $1 million PFL playoff scenarios

BAD MMA News — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 15:19:05 +0000

PFL lightweight Mads Burnell is focused on the things he can control. Just days away from his 2024 PFL 5 main event bout against Clay Collard at Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Burnell (18-6 MMA, 0-1 PFL) is aware that he needs to do more than just pick up a win over Collard (25-12 MMA, 7-4 PFL) to make the playoffs. However, he doesn’t know every scenario that would get him in because that’s the least of his concerns. “All I need is to go out and perform,” Burnell told MMA Junkie Radio. “Numbers and all that sh*t don’t mean a thing, so no, I haven’t really looked into it.” At 2024 PFL 2 in April, Burnell was submitted in the second round by Michael Dufort, putting his playoff hopes against the wall. With zero points in the standings, Burnell needs a first or second-round finish to give himself the best chance at fighting for $1 million in the playoffs, but he also needs some help with the other fight outcomes.
