The veteran lightweight failed to make the 155-pound weight limit for his matchup with Islam Mamedov at PFL 5 on Thursday at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y. Escudero weighed in at 163.2 pounds.
It is the second time this season that Escudero failed to make weight. He came in at 162 pounds for his PFL 2 matchup with Jason High in June, a bout that he went on to win via a controversial guillotine choke stoppage when the referee waved off the bout despite there not being a clear signal of submission from High.
