PFL Europe 2023 regular season.

Headlining the
PFL Europe 1 card is a light heavyweight tournament matchup
between Simeon
Powell and Mohamed
Amine. Besides several light heavyweight fights, the event also
features women’s flyweights. The lone participant in the season
that missed weight was Mafalda
Carmona, and her match has been pulled from the card.
Carmona was scheduled to face Griet
Eeckhout at flyweight, but came in at 131.2 pounds. Due to
being 5.2 pounds overweight, the fight has been canceled.
Additionally, Lewis
Monarch came in one pound over the 156-pound limit for his
lightweight showcase contest against Oscar
Ownsworth. That bout will continue, with Monarch being fined a
percentage of his purse.
Perfect as a professional through seven fights, Powell impressed in
his previous PFL showings in 2022. Dramatic knockouts over Joao
Paulo Fagundes and Clinton
Williams earned him this marquee opportunity. “Smooth”
officially weighed 205.8 pounds. Meanwhile, Amine (5-1) bounced
back from his first career defeat by stopping Tomas
Pakutinskas. The Amsterdam native weighed 203.6 pounds for his
promotional debut.
PFL Europe 1 will stream live on Dazn in Europe on Saturday, with
the action beginning at 5 p.m. GMT/1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.
