PFL 4 weigh-in results: 1 fighter misses weight by more than 5 pounds (Video)
Official weigh-in results for PFL 4: Featherweights & light heavyweights.
The 2023 PFL season continues with another round of regular season fights. On Thursday, June 8, live from the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, the featherweights and light heavyweights see their second round of action as the playoffs begin to shape up.
Despite being under the spotlight for a number of high-profile failed drug tests, including the likes of Rob Wilkinson and Thiago Santos, the PFL continues with a still very talented roster of fighters hoping to get one step closer to the PFL title and the million dollar prize.
The main event sees the man many see as the face of the PFL, Brendan Loughnane (27-4), take on Jesus Pinedo (20-6-1). Loughnane is on a five fight winning streak, which includes winning the 2022 PFL featherweight tournament and finishing Marlon Moraes in his last fight. Pinedo is making just his second appearance under the PFL banner, suffering a split-decision loss during PFL 1.
The likes of Moraes (23-12-1) and Chris Wade (22-9) will be looking to bounce back from a loss and keep themselves in contention for the 2023 tournament. 2022 featherweight finalist Bubba Jenkins (20-6) will also compete in the card and hope that this could be his year to become the PFL champion.

One of the fighters on the card missed weight badly on Wednesday morning. Ty Flores, who was originally meant to main event the card alongside 2022 champion Rob Wilkinson stepped on the scales at 211.2 pounds, 5.2 pounds over the 206-pound limit.
Flores was bumped to the sixth fight of the night after Wilkinson was removed from the card due to a failed dug test. At press time, there's no word on the fine or if the fight will continue as planned. If the fight does proceed, he'll automatically have a one point deduction for missing weight.
