One
Professional Fighters League finalist from last year’s
tournament failed to make weight ahead of Friday’s show.
The lightweight and welterweight divisions will be on display for
PFL 6, the final event of the regular season, with a 155-pound
“win or go home” matchup between Olivier
Aubin-Mercier and Anthony
Romero atop the card. While both headliners made weight, a pair
of undercard fighters did not. 2022 welterweight finalist Dilano
Taylor was penalized one point in the standings after coming in
at 171.2 pounds, and he will also forfeit 20% of his show purse to
opponent Carlos
Leal Miranda. Additionally, featherweight Brahyan
Zurcher missed weight, hitting the scales at 146.8 pounds for
his showcase bout against Mike
Bardsley, and has been fined 20% of his show purse.
Aubin-Mercier (18-5) won the PFL’s 2022 lightweight championship
and is off to a good start this season by defeating Shane
Burgos in his last outing. He weighed 155.6 pounds for his
second fight of 2023. Meanwhile, Romero (12-1) is coming off a
successful PFL debut in the Challenger Series earlier this year
against Antonio
Caruso, and is looking to pull off the mighty upset. Romero
weighed 155.4 pounds.
PFL 6 main card will air live on ESPN and ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m.
PT on Friday. Prelims begin on ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
