Magomed Magomedov failed to make weight ahead of his scheduled bout at PFL Sioux Falls on May 1, creating a catchweight situation for his fight against Leandro Higo.
Magomedov, nicknamed "Tiger," tipped the scales at 62.1 kg, exceeding the contracted limit for the matchup. The 33-year-old Russian carries a professional record of 21-5 and stands five-foot-seven with a 70-inch reach. A precise striker, he connects at a 63.4 percent accuracy rate, among the higher marks in his division, though he rarely pursues takedowns or submission attempts.
His opponent, Leandro Higo — known as "Alter" — came in at 61.5 kg and made weight without issue. The 36-year-old Brazilian holds a record of 23-7 and shares the same height as Magomedov at five-foot-eight, with a 69-inch reach. Higo is an accurate striker in his own right, landing at nearly 60 percent, though his output of 0.4 significant strikes per minute is notably conservative.
Elsewhere on the card, the main event is set between Logan Storley, who weighed in at 77.3 kg, and Florim Zendeli at 77.6 kg. Simeon Powell and Emiliano Sordi both came in just above 93 kg in a heavyweight pairing, while Sergey Bilostennyy and Renan Ferreira weighed in at 118.9 kg and 119.2 kg respectively for what shapes up as a significant heavyweight contest.
Alexander Chizhov and Gadzhi Rabadanov will meet at a catchweight of 72.6 kg. Rabadanov, a 32-year-old Russian with a 26-5-2 record, brings strong grappling credentials, averaging 3.43 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside a 56 percent striking accuracy. Additional featured bouts include Rasul Magomedov versus Rafael Xavier and a catchweight contest between Cheyenne Bowers and Sabrinna de Sousa.
