2023 PFL 1 weigh-in results: Featherweights, light heavyweights set for season opener

The PFL regular season opens Saturday with 2023 PFL 1, and all fights are now locked in after the official weigh-ins.

The event, which takes place at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, features featherweights and light heavyweights to start the push toward the $1 million championship prize.

In the main event, 2022 featherweight season winner Brendan Loughnane (26-4) takes on Marlon Moraes (23-11-1). Loughnane came in at 146 pounds; Moraes was 145.4.
