Background

edit

Starting in 2023 PFL Europe will feature young European MMA fighters, broadcast during prime local hours with all events staged in Europe. The format will follow the same as the regular PFL Season, with the winner receiving a $100,000 prize and a chance to earn a spot in the 2024 PFL regular season.[2]

At weigh-ins, Mafalda Carmona, who was supposed to fight Griet Eeckhout in the flyweight category, weighed in at 131.2 pounds, which was 5.2 pounds over the limit. Consequently, the fight was called off. Lewis Monarch weighed in at 157 pounds for his lightweight showcase bout against Ownsworth, exceeding the 156-pound limit by one pound. However, the bout went ahead with Monarch being penalized a certain percentage of his earnings.[3]
