The Pillow Fight Championship (PFC) is a professional sports organization that arranges competitive pillow fighting matches.[1][2][3] The PFC was founded by Steve Williams in 2021,[4][5] offering a unique style of combat sport that combines elements of boxing and mixed martial arts through specialized pillows.[6][7] These pillows are equipped with durable handles and ripstop nylon, enabling swift and forceful movements that generate a distinctive sound upon impact. Each bout lasts for 90 seconds.[8][9]

History

The concept for Pillow Fight Championship (PFC) originated during the COVID-19 pandemic when there was a demand for socially distanced sports and entertainment.[10] Skilled mixed martial artists and boxers were drawn to the idea of employing pillows as weapons in a sporting context.[11][12]

Inaugural Event

On January 29, 2022, the inaugural professional Pillow Fight Championship 1 took place in Florida.[13][14][15] The event featured 24 competitors, comprising 16 men and 8 women. Participants engaged in strategic pillow fights using specialized pillows weighing 2 lbs.[16][17][18] The tournament followed a bracket-style format and was accessible to viewers as a pay-per-view event.[19][20] Istela Nunes claimed the women's championship title by defeating Kendahl Voelker in the final match,[21] while Hauley Tillman emerged as the men's division champion after prevailing over Marcus Brimage. Medical Attention was required halfway through the round and provided by John Chandler. [22][23] Pillow Fight Championship (PFC) is streaming on Fite TV.
