pääkortti

Pääkortti is a Finnish term that translates to "main card" or "headliner" and is most commonly used in the context of combat sports, particularly boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA). It refers to the final and most significant bout on a fight card, typically featuring the most highly anticipated or skilled competitors. The main card is usually the portion of the event that is broadcast on pay-per-view or shown to a wider audience.

The fighters headlining the main card often have established reputations and are expected to deliver an exciting and decisive performance. Their bout is strategically placed at the end of the event to maximize viewership and generate the most excitement. The quality of the main card fighters can significantly influence the overall success and profitability of an event. In some cases, the main card might consist of several bouts, with the "pääkortti" specifically denoting the very last fight. The term emphasizes the importance and prominence of this particular match within the larger event structure.
