PFL Europe: Dean Garnett's journey from the 'wild west' to a $100,000 final

Dean Garnett is in the final of the PFL's European bantamweight tournament

So much has changed in mixed martial arts since Dean Garnett started in the sport around 20 years ago.

Describing the scene as the "wild west", Liverpool's Garnett describes fighting in rooms full of smoke while fans puffed on cigarettes.

There was little money in the sport back then - a far cry from the $100,000 (£75,000) Garnett will win if he beats France's Baris Adiguzel in the final of the PFL's European bantamweight tournament in Lyon on Saturday.

But one of the biggest changes, Garnett says, is the acceptance of the sport today.
