Summary
Seven pounds over the featherweight limit, Ketlen Vieira lost eligibility to win Cris Cyborg’s PFL title in Saturday’s Tampa main event.
Cyborg can still defend the belt, but if Vieira wins, Cyborg has agreed to vacate the championship rather than lose it in the cage.
The ESPN main card also features Gadzhi Rabadanov vs. Tracy Reeder in the co-main event, with Taila Santos, Luke Trainer and Marcirley Alves also scheduled.
Early results from the prelims saw Gino van Steenis beat Robert Watley by unanimous decision and Eoin Sheridan stop James Vake by first-round knockout at 4:09.
