Magomed Magomedov came in heavy at the official PFL Sioux Falls weigh-ins on May 1, missing the scale mark for his scheduled bout against Leandro Higo and casting doubt on whether the fight will proceed as planned.
Magomedov tipped the scales at 62.1 kg, exceeding the limit for his weight class. His opponent, Leandro Higo, is a 36-year-old Brazilian veteran who carries a professional record of 23-7. Known by the nickname "ALTER," Higo is a precise technician, connecting on nearly 60 percent of his significant strikes, though he operates at a relatively low volume of 0.4 significant strikes per minute. The bout's status will depend on whether both camps can reach an agreement to continue under catchweight terms.
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. In another notable contest, Alexander Chizhov will meet Gadzhi Rabadanov at a catchweight of 72.6 kg. Rabadanov, a 32-year-old Russian with an impressive 26-5-2 record, brings elite accuracy to the table, landing 56 percent of his significant strikes while averaging 3.43 takedowns per 15 minutes. The heavyweight division is also represented, with Sergey Bilostennyy set to face Renan Ferreira.
Why it matters
- Magomedov's weight miss puts his scheduled bout against Higo in jeopardy and may result in a catchweight agreement or cancellation
- Higo, a precise and experienced Brazilian finisher, stands to lose a contracted fight through no fault of his own
- The Rabadanov-Chizhov catchweight pairing adds further intrigue to a 12-fight card already carrying significant divisional weight across multiple classes
