Magomed Magomedov came in over the limit ahead of his scheduled bout at PFL Sioux Falls, headlining a weigh-in that otherwise saw the majority of fighters make weight without issue.

Magomedov, known as "Tiger," tipped the scales at 62.1 kg, exceeding the limit for his matchup with Leandro Higo, who made weight at 61.5 kg. The 33-year-old Russian carries a professional record of 21-5 and stands five-foot-seven with a 70-inch reach. He has demonstrated a precise striking game throughout his career, posting a striking accuracy of 63.4 percent, though his output sits at 0.65 significant strikes per minute. Higo, nicknamed "Alter," is a 36-year-old Brazilian with a record of 23-7. He measures five-foot-eight with a 69-inch reach and owns an even more precise striking accuracy of nearly 60 percent. With Magomedov missing weight, the bout will proceed under negotiated terms or may be scrapped pending an agreement between both camps, though no official determination was reported at the time of the weigh-in announcement.

Why it matters

  • Magomedov's weight miss puts his bout with Higo in jeopardy and could affect his standing in the PFL season
  • Higo, who made weight successfully, would be entitled to a portion of Magomedov's purse under standard MMA contractual terms
  • The main event and other featured bouts remain on track following a largely clean weigh-in across the rest of the card
