The
Professional Fighters League
playoffs kick off with heavyweight
and women’s flyweight fights.

Heavyweight headliners Denis
Goltsov
and Tim Johnson
both successfully made weight for their three-round main event,
where Johnson will be the bigger man by over 18 pounds. However,
the biggest news from the
PFL 7
weigh-ins was that Liz
Carmouche
missed weight for the first time in her career. The
40-year-old came in at 127 pounds for her fight against Taila
Santos
. The „Girl-Rilla“ will be deducted one point during the
bout itself and fined 20% of her purse as a result. All other
semifinalists successfully made weight.

Goltsov (34-8) enters the main attraction on a two-fight win streak
after knocking out Linton
Vassell
and Thiago
Santos
. He came up short at the 2023 championships against
Renan
Ferreira
and will look to keep his title hopes alive this year.
Meanwhile, Johnson (18-9) has won three straight, including a quick
first-round TKO over Danilo
Marques
in his PFL debut. The former Bellator mainstay looks to
make the heavyweight finals at 39.

The PFL 7 main card will begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on Friday,
while the prelims start at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. It will stream in
its entirety on ESPN+.
