The PFL playoffs get underway Friday, and a few fighters missed weight at the official weigh-ins for 2024 PFL Playoffs 1.

Friday’s event (ESPN/ESPN+), which takes place at Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., features heavyweight and women’s flyweight playoff bouts on the main card.

In the main event, No. 1 seed Denis Goltsov (34-8) takes on Tim Johnson (18-9). The co-main event features a women’s flyweight bout between undefeated No. 1 seed Dakota Ditcheva (12-0) and Jena Bishop (7-1).

The lone fighter to come in heavy at the official weigh-ins was Liz Carmouche (22-7), who missed weight for the first time in her career, weighing in at 127 pounds. For the miss, she will be deducted one point on the scorecards in her bout against fellow UFC vet Taila Santos, and will be fined 20 percent of her purse.

The one-point deduction will only be for league advancement purposes, and will not affect the official commission result, per PFL officials.

Also, three other prelim fighters came in heavy: Sergio Cossio, Jaleel Willis and Anthony Ivy.
