Heavyweights combine for 500-pound main event in Atlanta – Fighters Only

The official weigh-ins ahead of PFL 5 took place on Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia, with all of the key matchups locked in for Friday night’s fight night at the Overtime Elite Arena.

Twenty-three of the 24 fighters set for action made their contracted weights, with heavyweight main eventers Ante Delija and Maurice Greene both tipping the scale above the 250-pound mark.

Last year’s heavyweight champion Delija came in at 251 pounds, while Greene weighed in marginally heavier, at 255.4 pounds.

The co-main event featured last season’s lightweight women’s champion Larissa Pacheco, who weighed in at 145.6 pounds for her featherweight bout with Amber Leibrock (145.8), while the night’s other heavyweight main card matchup saw Renan Ferreira and Matheus Scheffel arrive on the scale at 259 and 260.6 pounds, respectively.
