PFL 6 was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Professional Fighters League that took place on June 23, 2023, at the Overtime Elite Arena in, Atlanta, Georgia, United States. This marked the sixth regular-season event of the tournament and included fights in the Lightweight and Welterweight divisions.[1] [2]
This event was headlined by returning 2022 Lightweight Champion Olivier Aubin-Mercier facing debutant Anthony Romero and 2022 Welterweight Champion Sadibou Sy facing off against Shane Mitchell.
A welterweight bout between Cedric Doumbé and Jarrah Al-Silawi was scheduled for this event.[3] However, Cedric had to pull out of the bout due to a wrist injury and was replaced by Zach Juusola.[4] Juusola was later replaced by Solomon Renfro.
At weigh-ins, Dilano Taylor weighed in at 171.2 pounds, 0.2 pounds over the Welterweight limit. He was fined 20 percent of his purse which went to his opponent Carlos Leal and he was given a one-point penalty in the standings. Brahyan Zurcher also missed weight for his featherweight bout against Mike Bardsley, weighing in at 146.8 pounds and forfeited 20 percent of his purse to Bardsley.[5]
The PFL points system is based on the results of the match. The winner of a fight receives 3 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. The bonus for winning in the third round requires a fight to be stopped before 4:59 of the third round. No bonus point will be awarded if a fighter wins via decision. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. A decision win will result in three total points. If a fighter misses weight, the opponent (should they comply with weight limits) will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory, regardless of winning or losing the bout; if the non-offending fighter subsequently wins with a stoppage, all bonus points will be awarded.[7]
