Flores’ bout with Dan Spohn (206) will proceed as scheduled according to the PFL, with Flores forfeiting 20 percent of his purse as penalty. Flores also automatically takes a one-point penalty in the light heavyweight standings.
Featherweight headliners Brendan Loughnane and Jesus Pinedo successfully made weight, both coming in at 146 pounds.
Loughnane, the 2022 featherweight champion, looks to continue the strong start to his 2023 campaign after defeating Marlon Moraes via second-round TKO this past April. The British star has won five straight fights and been victorious in nine of his 10 appearances for the league.
Pinedo is coming off of a loss in his PFL debut, having dropped a split decision to the undefeated Gabriel Braga at the April event.
The co-main event also features two top PFL featherweights as 2021 champion Movlid Khaybulaev takes on Tyler Diamond. Khaybulaev weighed in at 146 pounds, with Diamond a shade lighter at 145.8.
Ceremonial weigh-ins are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. ET. Watch live video of that event above.
