PFL president Ray Sefo addresses weight-cutting issues plaguing the league in season 2

The Professional Fighters League playoffs will be set following Thursday night’s event featuring heavyweight and light heavyweight fighters but another bout was scrapped from the card due to an athlete failing to make weight.

Ronny Markes came in over the light heavyweight limit for his fight against Dan Spohn, which not only cancelled the fight but cost the Ohio native the chance to bolster his chance of making the playoffs by earning a finish that would earn him more points.

With a walkover win, Spohn gets three points along with his show and win money but now he has to wait until the rest of the card plays out to find out if he’s getting a spot in the playoffs, where the grand prize is $1 million going to the winner.
