All of the heavyweights made weight but unfortunately the same can't be said for the women.
Olena Kolesnyk missed weight for her playoff bout with 2023 lightweight champion Larissa Pacheco. This is the second time this season that Kolesnyk has missed weight but it could have dire consequences this time around.
Due to missing weight, Kolesnyk will be fined a percentage of her purse and be deducted a point on the judges scorecards, should the fight go to decision.
She'll have to finish Pacheco or win every round if she hopes to advance to the PFL Finals.
