2024 PFL 3 weigh-in results: Welterweights, featherweights set in Chicago

The PFL regular season continues Friday with PFL 2024, Week 3, and all fights are now locked in after the official weigh-ins.

The event, which takes place at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, features light heavyweights and lightweights in their first fights of the season.

In the main event, former Bellator welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov (27-4) makes his transition to the PFL against the unbeaten Magomed Umalatov (14-0). At featherweight, 2022 $1 million season winner Brendan Loughnane (27-5) missed the playoffs in 2023, but he’ll be looking for redemption when he takes on Bellator transfer Pedro Carvalho (13-8).

Only Laureano Staropoli (13-5) missed weight for his welterweight bout against Murad Ramazanov (11-0), and he missed badly. He’ll automatically lose a point in the standings as a penalty.
