PFL 8 – PFL 2023 Playoffs Live Results

The PFL returned to The Theater in Madison Square Garden for the PFL 2023 Playoffs. These semi-final bouts were the “win or go home” portion of their format so the stakes have never been higher than they are now. Renan Ferreira, Larissa Pacheco, Denis Goltsov, and Marina Mokhnatkina all advanced in their respective divisions and are one step closer to being champions and millionaires.

Several showcase bouts were also on the card featuring one of the alternates for heavyweights. One of the fighters missed weight but according to the PFL rules and regulations semifinalists can still advance but forfeit 20% of their purse and are deducted 1 point.  But after the event, that seems like a non-issue now. Detailed results are below followed by quick results for the TLDR readers. 

Kaytlin Neil vs. Maíra Mazar

Round 1 had Neil test out the clinch of Mazar and try to use range to set up a finishing blow. Mazar seemed to whether the storm to try yo pressure Neil into a grappling match. Neil seemed to land more in that round.

Round 2 Mazar’s pressure seemed to pay off a little more as she kept meeting Neil’s shots halfway. However, they were still landing, a tough round to score as both women were looking to land blows to end the fight. Neil still seemed the busier fighter.

Round 3 both women met in the middle of the cage to leave it all in there. Mazar gave up on any grappling and Neil seemed to try to find more success with her lead jab and leg kicks. Towards the end, it seemed Neil’s striking from the clinch might have paid off but as the fight went on, Mazar’s willingness to meet Neil in the center won over the judges. Mazar wins vis split decision.

Danilo Marques vs.  Satoshi Ishii

Round 1 had Marques and Ishii wasted no time feeling each other out. Ishii seemed to want to shell up and close the distance to use his grappling against Marques but a few right hands from Marques seemed to put a damper on Ishi’s plans.

Round 2, Ishii’s shelling tactic seemed to work against him as the fighter seemed to show some fatigue when the engagement attempts failed. Marques absolutely capitalized on it and landed some blows for Ishii to carry into round 3.

Round 3 both men seemed tired but there was also a sense of desperation from them. Surprisingly, Marques decided to go for a takedown of his own which may have been to his detriment as it seemed to help Ishii get into a slugfest with him. It seemed dangerous for both but entertaining for the fans. Marques won via unanimous decision.

Nate Kelly vs. Damion Nelson

Round 1 had Kelly come out strong like he wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible. Nelson backed up from the strongest blows but seemed to be there for them as the round progressed making for a scrappy first round. Kelly would get a cut above the eye that would need checking, but they went into round 2.

Round 2 mirrored round 1 in the way both men traded. Kelly’s left hand seemed to find its mark enough to put some swelling on Nelson to pay him back for the cut from the previous round. They moved on to round 3.

Round 3 was more of the same, and that is not a knock on the fight. Nelson seemed to start with the same pressure Kelly had in the beginning and Kelly met him in kind. While the bout was a showcase bout in the undercard, they both fought like it was a semi-final fight. If it was, TK would be advancing since he wound up picking up the win via unanimous decision.

Marina Mokhnatkina vs. Amber Leibrock

Leibrock seemed ready for war but the fight went quickly to the ground where it was all Mokhnatkina who was able to secure an armbar in round 1. 

Denis Goltsov vs Jordan Heiderman

It would have been a great story if Heiderman won, however, Goltsov’s experience proved to be too much for Heiderman and Goltsov was able to secure a submission via arm triangle in the first round.

Larissa Pacheco vs. Olena Kolesnyk

No disrespect to Kolesnyk, but Pacheco absolutely has her number with a first-round TKO.

Renan Ferreira  vs. Maurice Greene

Even though Ferreira has just a few inches on Greene it seemed to count for a lot in round 1. Punches in bunches followed by leg licks from Ferreira lead to a first-round knockout. 

Friday night fights are locked and loaded in New York City tonight and we’ll have live updates. See the bout listing below:

PFL 2023 Playoffs quick results:

Renan Ferreira  defeats Maurice Greene via first round knock out at 4:46

New immersive experience reveals and revels in Puerto Rico’s rich foodways – The Boston Globe

Chef Luis Cabrero salts a pot of chicken at El Pretexto.Nevin Martell

Guests stay here at El Pretexto, a 3.5-acre retreat nestled 2,600 feet up in the verdant mountains outside Cayey on the southeastern end of the island. They start the day with wellness classes, like yoga and mindfulness walks, before settling in at the picnic tables by the open kitchen for outstanding breakfasts, such as waffles with fresh island pineapple or morning minded flatbreads topped with just-gathered eggs from the property’s hens. Crafting these meals is one of the many responsibilities of the tour’s visionary creator and guide, 37-year-old Crystal Díaz, a deeply knowledgeable super connector who cofounded the PRoduce app in 2018, which links chefs and consumers to local producers, so they can source food grown on the island.

She doesn’t want her food experience to be a paint-by-numbers excursion. “This is for people that want to get to know Puerto Rico, but not from the classic tourist perspective,” she says. “People will be able to understand how history and culture affect the food of a place.”

Diaz plans to host four tours a year with the next one happening Oct. 29 to Nov. 5 ($7,500 per couple, $4,800 per individual; further details at elpretextopr.com/the-pretexto-food-experience).

Her weeklong, robustly scheduled itineraries are informative, immersive, and intensely delicious. Guests get serious facetime with acclaimed local culinary talent, who teach hands-on workshops at El Pretexto. On the debut edition of the experience this past February, chef Luis Cabrero taught the secrets of ultra-tender flan and guava bread pudding, award-winning pitmaster Jose Lucca oversaw a barbecue class — including how to make smokey molten chocolate skillet cake on the grill — and chef-fisherman José Carles gave an incisive tutorial on crafting crudo, ceviche, and banana leaf wrapped whole yellowtail.

The trip included a lot of time off property, including meals at some of the island’s most notable restaurants. There was a sprawling lunch at Bacoa, a breezy blockbuster from chefs Raúl Correa, Xavier Pacheco, and René Marichal who oversee a wood-fired kitchen specializing in intensely flavorful, deeply personal Puerto Rican cuisine powered by local ingredients; an al fresco family-style meal including three-bite empanadas, cassava fritters topped with ribbons of smoked salmon, and caramelly flan at Teta’s; and a grand finale celebration at Cocina Al Fondo from James Beard award-winning chef Natalia Vallejo, who transforms island ingredients into revelatory dishes that speak to both Puerto Rico’s heritage and the potential of its future.

Beyond five-star meals, there were several highly informative farm tours. One of Díaz’s goals is to give guests an intimate understanding of the challenges Puerto Rico’s farmers continue to face in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island in 2017, killing an estimated 2,975 people, leaving many residents without electricity, running water, and access to food for months afterward. The storm brutalized farms, wiping out roughly 80 percent of crop values, according to a 2017 estimate from Puerto Rico’s Department of Agriculture. Despite it all, Díaz saw a silver lining in the gale’s dark clouds. “It also gave a lot of people the sense that we really had a problem of food insecurity,” she says, noting that before Maria, the island was importing an estimated 85 percent of the food from the mainland. “Surprisingly, many more people started to buy farms and tried to grow their own food.”

One of the farms at the forefront of Puerto Rico’s modern agricultural movement is Carite 3.0, an agroecology-minded venture perched in the rain forests of the island’s Guayama municipality, a half-hour drive to the east of El Pretexto. We visited on the last full day of the trip, receiving a personal tour from third-generation farmer Fernando Maldonado Suárez, who pointed out plots producing cacao, batata (sweet potatoes), and bananas as we threaded our way across his rustic hillside property. Learning about his earth-friendly growing methods and the hopes he has for the island’s food scene was a full-circle moment for Díaz’s exceptional food experience — a farm-to-table tour de force not to be forgotten.

Asians more educated but earning less in New Zealand | RNZ News

The Human Rights Commission is urging ethnic groups, including Asians, to be more aware of pay disparity and speak up whenever they encounter bias.

The government announced on 11 August that it would take action to close the pay gap for New Zealand women, requiring more than 900 entities with over 250 employees to report their gender pay gaps.

It has also vowed to examine whether ethnicity needs to be included in the reporting process before legislation is drafted.

Human Rights Commission (HRC) equal employment opportunities commissioner Saunoamaali’i Karanina Sumeo said New Zealand had yet to achieve pay equity despite introducing the Equal Pay Act in 1972.

The new measure was a positive step to address the gender pay gap but called for legal protections to be introduced governing ethnic pay equality, Sumeo said.

An HRC report published last year showed Pākeha men were at the top of the income ladder.

Looking at people who were earning wages in 2021, for every dollar a Pākeha man made, Asian men earned just over 86 cents. Asian women, by comparison, earned 83 cents.

Māori men earned just under 86 cents, while Māori women and Pacific Island men earned 81 cents. Pacific Island women made the least (75 cents), while Pākeha women have the smallest gap at 89 cents.

Looking at full-time workers, Asian men earned $263,481 less than Pākeha men over a lifetime of 40 working years. Asian women earned $422,096 less over the same period.

Sumeo said the differences would have a huge impact on people’s children and family.

She said research in May showed nearly two out of every three New Zealanders considered pay gaps to be a “significant” or “very significant” issue.

“A lot of differences can’t be explained by things like education and occupational choices, so we know that definitely discrimination is in play in our workplaces. We don’t want to take advantage of people who don’t understand their rights,” Sumeo said.

“If we don’t recognise ethnicity, then the unconscious bias and disadvantages of our Asian and Pacific communities will continue to contribute to them losing the income they deserve.

“My message to the communities is to keep speaking up, keep calling for the ethnic pay gap to be recognised alongside the gender pay gap.

“This is a critical time. We’ve got an election year. Be visible, be proud. You’re worthy of it and you have human rights that need to be upheld. This is our time to do that.”

‘We’re often forgotten’

First Union organiser Sun-Min Elle Park said the amount of earnings that Asian women missed out on over the course of their careers could be enough to buy a small apartment.

The South Korean native said she struggled to find a job after graduating with a master’s degree and was eventually offered a job as a receptionist for $40,000 a year. However, her Pākeha boyfriend at the time, who also graduated with a master’s degree, was offered $62,000 and had two pay raises in one year.

Park acknowledged the couple studied different subjects but found it hard to accept the imbalance.

An Asian name was enough to make employers biased, and when accent, gender and ethnicity all came into play, Asians are losing out on many opportunities, no matter if they were capable of doing a job or not, she said.

“It’s really sad,” Park said. “No matter how hard I try, because of the bias again Asian women, I will be worse off than my Pākeha peers.”

Although Asian women ranked second worse on the income ladder, media seldom talked about them, she said.

“We’re often forgotten, or they don’t care, or they don’t want to talk about it,” she said. “Our issues are often ignored.”

Stereotypes also played a part in people’s awareness of the pay gaps faced by Asians, Park said, adding that not all Asians were from a wealthy family, including herself, whose single mum spent her whole life working in factories.

“Legislative changes such as pay equity or pay transparency will definitely help,” she said.

Raising awareness about the ethnic pay gap would also help drive changes, she said.

‘Systemic problem’

Sumeo said ethnic minorities, especially new migrants, should not blame themselves for pay inequity, adding that the government, businesses and individuals needed to work together to solve the problem.

It was not uncommon to see migrants feeling intimidated to ask for better pay because they were diffident in their language skills and local knowledge, but they should feel capable and confident if they’ve passed the recruitment process, she said.

“When you begin to internalise and blame yourself for the pay gap, this is a statement to say no,” she said. “This is a systemic problem. This is beyond your control.”

Migrants are important to New Zealand’s growth, and they need to be supported to reduce language and cultural barriers instead of being punished, Sumeo said.

She said Asians were also more reluctant to report bullying and harassment at workplaces, adding that such behaviour would ultimately affect their performances in the long run and subsequently make pay rises and promotions more difficult to attain.

“We’re calling on businesses to step up and we’re calling on the government to put in place a pay transparency legislation, to take that onus off our vulnerable workers and put it on our businesses and governments to make sure the environment is safe and supportive for all our workers.”

Measures recommended by Human Rights Commission include making the pay range clear on job advertisements, removing contract terms that instruct employees to refrain from discussing salaries and asking all companies to monitor their pay gaps.

Sumeo said the issue of equal pay was “not a political issue, but a human rights issue”, and whichever party is next in power should take urgent action.

More educated but earning less

AUT NZ Work Research Institute director and professor of economics Gail Pacheco was part of the HRC research.

The pay gap for Asian males relative to European males was 13.9 percent, while the gap for Asian females relative to European females was 8.19 percent, she said, adding that these pay gaps could not be explained.

“The standout result in our findings is that … despite having higher educational attainment levels on average, Asians are not receiving the return to that skill level at the same rate as their European counterparts,” Pacheco said.

“While Asian pay gaps are smaller than Māori and Pacific pay gaps, they are still sizable, particularly given the higher level of educational attainment they have on average. Importantly, they are also the group with the largest proportion that is unexplained.”

Massey University School of Humanities Media and Creative Communication senior lecturer Liangni Sally Liu was concerned about ethnic pay gaps.

“Inequity in pay and its related social injustice are two big challenges globally,” Liu said. “New Zealand is no exception. As an OECD and a traditional immigrant-receiving country, New Zealand needs to try its best to improve the situation.”

In addition to improving pay transparency at workplaces, closer scrutiny of the implementation of the employment law was also needed, Liu said.

“To mitigate the workforce exploitation towards new Asian immigrants, relevant government organisations need closely monitor workplaces and establish mechanism to support new Asian immigrants to find jobs.”

Minister for Ethnic Communities and Associate Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety Priyanca Radhakrishnan acknowledged the pay gaps faced by women and some ethnicities, and said the government was committed to tackling the problem.

“There is no silver bullet to tackle pay gaps, and we will continue to take different steps to address it,” Radhakrishnan said. “I encourage organisations to look into their gender and ethnic pay gaps, and we encourage leaders in the business community who are already doing great work in addressing their pay gaps to encourage others to do the same.”
