The
Professional Fighters League‘s 2022 season continues with a
card filled with lightweights and light heavyweights, although not
every scheduled fighter managed to make weight.
While
Bruno Miranda was unable to make weight due to “complications.”
As a result, alternate Jake
Childers will replace Miranda and battle Nate
Jennerman at lightweight instead. Beyond that, the remaining
competitors officially made weight, although there was some drama
on the scales as Jeremy
Stephens had to shave his head and face, and reportedly
wasn’t standing fully on the scale when he weighed 156
pounds.
