pääkortilla

Pääkortilla is a Finnish term that translates to "with the main card" or "on the main card." It is primarily used in the context of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts (MMA) events. When a match or bout is described as being "pääkortilla," it signifies that it is part of the main, most significant portion of the event's fight card.

In professional wrestling, the pääkortilla matches are typically the final bouts of the show, often featuring championship contests or the most popular wrestlers. These matches are generally positioned to draw the largest audience attention and are considered the climactic events of the evening.

Similarly, in MMA, the pääkortilla refers to the main event fights that occur towards the end of a fight night or pay-per-view event. These bouts usually involve high-profile fighters, title fights, or matchups with significant implications for the sport's rankings and future events. The term emphasizes the importance and prestige of these particular contests within the overall event structure. The term is not widely used in other competitive contexts.
