1 playoff fighter misses weight

The 2023 PFL Playoffs 3 card stayed intact after Tuesday’s official weigh-ins, however that doesn’t imply there weren’t any hiccups.

Two fighters competing on the occasion missed weight – one from a showcase bout on the preliminary card and the opposite from a playoff bout on the principle card.

Carlos Leal missed weight by 1 pound for his welterweight semifinal bout towards Sadibou Sy, whereas John Caldone missed weight by 2.6 kilos for what was alleged to be a featherweight bout towards Nathaniel Grimard.

Each fighters will probably be fined 20 % of their purse, and Leal will obtain some extent deduction if his combat goes to the judges.

The remainder of the 18 fighters, together with the opposite seven within the playoffs, all made weight for his or her respective bouts.
