PFL 13 weigh-in results: Alexandre Bezerra hospitalized, misses weight by nine pounds

The Professional Fighters League returns to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Thursday for its second show of the 2019 season, but three Brazilians have been pulled from the card in Long Island, NY.

Alexandre Bezerra, who was slated to take on Jeremy Kennedy in a featherweight bout, weighed in at 155 pounds on Wednesday morning, coming in nine pounds over the weight.

Bezerra told MMA Fighting he passed out while cutting weight in a hot tub and was taken by his coach to a local hospital. According to “Popo”, he still had seven pounds left to cut when he passed out.
