PFL 3 Weigh-in Results: Headliners Cleared, Laureano Staropoli Over 4 Pounds Heavy

The Professional Fighters League continues its 2024 season with PFL 3, which features welterweight and featherweight fights.

The 12-fight card was officially set after the weigh-ins took place on Thursday. It is headlined by a three-round welterweight fight between former Bellator welterweight world champion Andrey Koreshkov and the undefeated Magomed Umalatov. All fighters made weight, save for Laureano Staropoli (175.25), who exceeded the 171-pound cap by 4.25 pounds. His fight against Murad Ramazanov (170.75) will continue at a catchweight, and he has been penalized one playoff point in addition to sustaining a fine of his purse.

Koreshkov (27-4) is currently on a five-fight win streak, most recently seeing him avenge a 2019 defeat to Lorenz Larkin by winning a split decision. "Spartan" won Bellator gold in 2015 by defeating Douglas Lima by decision. The two would later rematch a year later, with Lima winning via KO, and the Russian would lose the final fight in the trilogy by submission in 2018. Koreshkov weighed 170.6 pounds for his PFL debut.

This marks the biggest fight in the career of Umalatov, who has an impressive 14-0 record. "Prince" is 5-0 under the PFL banner and is coming off wins over Nayib Lopez, Dilano Taylor and Jarrah Al-Silawi. The 32-year-old fighter is an Eagles MMA prospect and stepped on the scale at 170.3 pounds.

The PFL 3 main card begins at 9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT on ESPN and ESPN+. Prelims will stream exclusively on ESPN+ starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
