2023 PFL 5 official weigh-in results: One fighter heavy, faces point deduction
All 24 fighters competing at 2023 PFL 5 stepped on the scale, but not all made weight.
At Thursday’s official weigh-ins, only one fighter was unable to reach the contracted weight – Evelyn Martins. She came in at 147 pounds, one over the allowance for the women’s featherweight division. Martins will get a point deducted from the result of the fight, and her opponent Marina Mokhnatkina will also receive 20 percent of Martins’s purse.
Everyone one else on the card made weight, including the heavyweight main event between Ante Delija and Maurice Greene, as well as the co-main event of Larissa Pacheco vs. Amber Leibrock.
