Professional pillow fighting pay-per-view event comes to streaming

The Pillow Fighting Championship(PFC) recently held its first live pay-per-view event. Many people think that pillow fighting is only childhood horseplay, but Steve Williams, the CEO and founder of the PFC, says that it's a true professional combat sport. The PFC event was shown on the sports streaming platform FITE in January.

Most PFC athletes have backgrounds in other combat sports like Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) or boxing. They use specialized pillows and wear costumes during the 3-round matches. Williams says that the sport may look silly, but the athletes are serious about it and train hard to win. Interested athletes can register to fight on the official PFC website.

According to Williams, PFC fighters don't want to get hurt, and their audience doesn't want to see blood. He says that the PFC is focused on good competition, and athletes need to have strength, stamina, and strategy to win. Williams feels that pillow fighting could become a mainstream sport because most people have experience fighting their siblings and friends with pillows.
