The
PFL Europe 2 card is set after three fighters came in
overweight.

The second
Professional Fighters League Europe event in 2023 will be
headlined by Francesco
Nuzzi and Farbod
Iran Nezhad in the bantamweight division. Both men successfully
made weight, but not every combatant ahead of the show could say
the same. Co-main event competitor Moktar
Benkaci was the most high-profile weight miss, as the
bantamweight came in half a pound over the limit for his fight
against Khurshed
Kakhorov. Additionally, lightweight Acoidan
Duque (159.1) clocked in 3.1 pounds over the lightweight cap,
and Rachid
El Hazoume Aamay was .3 pounds over the bantamweight max at
136.3 pounds.
Nuzzi (9-1, 1 NC) is coming off a no contest after his fight
against Moktar
Benkaci ended in an eye poke. Prior to the disappointing PFL
debut, the Italian fighter had rattled off eight wins in a row. The
most recent was a split decision victory over Bernardo
Sopai. Meanwhile, Nezhad (11-2-1) out of Iran has won three
straight fights via decision. The latest win was a five-round
affair over Darko
Banovic.
PFL Europe 2 won’t stream in the United States, but a list of
available markets can be found on the promotion’s website.
