The Professional Fighters League held official weigh-ins for the 2021 PFL World Championship, the culminating event in the widely successful 2021 season. Headlining the card will be a PFL Women’s Lightweight Championship showdown between Kayla Harrison and Taylor Guardado.
Harrison tipped the scales at 153.8-pounds, as she tries to remain undefeated and become a two-time PFL Women’s Lightweight Champion. Guardado, the talented newcomer, came in at 154.4-pounds as she faces the biggest challenge of her young MMA career.
In the co-main event, rivals face off for the PFL Welterweight World Championship, as 2019 champion Ray Cooper III faces 2018 champion Magomed Magomedkerimov.
Cooper came in at 169.8-pounds as he looks to even the score with the man that denied him the 2018 PFL Welterweight Championship. Magomedkerimov meanwhile weighed in at 170-pounds, as he tries to once again become the league’s top welterweight.
