    Editor's note: The article has been updated at 8 p.m. ET to include weigh-in information of every competitor.

    The Professional Fighters League playoffs kick off with heavyweight and women's flyweight fights.

    Heavyweight headliners Denis Goltsov
    and Tim Johnson both successfully made weight for their three-round main event, where Johnson will be the bigger man by over 18 pounds. However, the biggest news from the PFL 7 weigh-ins was that Liz Carmouche missed weight for the first time in her career. The 40-year-old came in at 127 pounds for her fight against Taila Santos . The "Girl-Rilla" will be deducted one point during the bout itself and fined 20% of her purse as a result. All other semifinalists successfully made weight.

    Goltsov (34-8) enters the main attraction on a two-fight win streak after knocking out
    Linton Vassell and Thiago Santos . He came up short at the 2023 championships against Renan Ferreira and will look to keep his title hopes alive this year. Meanwhile, Johnson (18-9) has won three straight, including a quick first-round TKO over Danilo Marques in his PFL debut. The former Bellator mainstay looks to make the heavyweight finals at 39.

    The PFL 7 main card will begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on Friday, while the prelims start at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. It will stream in its entirety on ESPN+.
