Three fighters miss weight, force changes to PFL 5 fight card
Several fights have been changed for the Professional Fighters League 5 card on Thursday night after three athletes failed to make weight on Wednesday.
Two lightweights and a featherweight did not hit the mark, which then forced the promotion to scramble to change the card ahead of the upcoming playoffs starting later this year.
Lightweight competitor Ramsey Nijem was disqualified after his weight was not recorded after he failed to fully step on the scale to allow for an accurate measurement according to New Jersey State Athletic Control Board counsel Nick Lembo in a statement to ESPN.
