2023 PFL 6 official weigh-in results: Main card set, two prelim fighters heavy
All 24 fighters competing at 2023 PFL 6 stepped on the scale, but a couple of preliminary fighters missed their mark.
At Thursday’s official weigh-ins, the entire main card successfully made weight, including 2022 lightweight season winner Olivier Aubin-Mercier, who weighed in at 155.6 pounds. His opponent, Anthony Romero, came in at 155.4. The other 2022 season winner competing in the co-main event, Sadibou Sy, made the welterweight limit by stepping on the scale at 170.6. He faces Shane Mitchell, who weighed 170.8.
Dilano Taylor came in heavy, initially weighing 171.4 for his welterweight bout against Carlos Leal, who weighed 170.6. On his second attempt, Taylor stepped on the scale slightly lighter at 171.2.
