The PFL held its final regular-season event in Atlanta after conducting the weigh-ins on Thursday. PFL 6 featured some notable moments, including two fighters failing to make weight. Dilano Taylor, a former welterweight finalist, came in 0.2 pounds over the limit for a non-title fight against Carlos Leal.
As a result, Taylor lost one point in the standings and was fined 20% from his purse. Given his point deduction and previous loss earlier in the season, the fighter must pull off something impressive to return to the playoffs in 2023.
The only other fighter to miss weight was Brahyan Zurcher, who came in at 146.8 pounds instead of the required 145 pounds. The fight is still set to proceed as a catchweight with Zurcher surrendering 20% of his show purse to his opponent, Mike Bardsley.
The main event featured the 2022 PFL lightweight champion, Olivier Aubin-Mercier, against Anthony Romero. Aubin-Mercier came in at 155.6 pounds and is looking to make a significant impact following his incredible win over fellow UFC veteran Shane Burgos earlier in the season. Romero hit the scale at 155.4 pounds, hoping to pull off an upset against Aubin-Mercier.
In addition to that, Burgos weighed in at 155.8 pounds for his fight against Yamato Nishikawa. The fighter must secure a win to remain in contention for the playoffs after losing to Aubin-Mercier earlier in the season.
