Check out the full weigh-in results for Wednesday’s 2023 PFL Playoffs 3 event in New York.

The 2023 PFL Playoffs 3 card stayed intact after Tuesday’s official weigh-ins, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t any hiccups.

Two fighters competing on the event missed weight – one from a showcase bout on the preliminary card and the other from a playoff bout on the main card.

[autotag]Carlos Leal[/autotag] missed weight by 1 pound for his welterweight semifinal bout against [autotag]Sadibou Sy[/autotag], while [autotag]John Caldone[/autotag] missed weight by 2.6 pounds for what was supposed to be a featherweight bout against [autotag]Nathaniel Grimard[/autotag].

Both fighters will be fined 20 percent of their purse, and Leal will receive a point deduction if his fight goes to the judges.

The rest of the 18 fighters, including the other seven in the playoffs, all made weight for their respective bouts.
