| CHARLOTTE (AUGUST 6, 2026) – The PFL Charlotte weigh-ins are now final, as all athletes successfully hit the scales ahead of fight night on Friday, August 7, at the Bojangles Coliseum. The event follows last week’s news as MVP and PFL’s merger was officially announced.
Hometown hero #8Bryan “The Butcher” Battle (12-3, 1NC) hit the scales at 185.6 lbs while Pittsburgh’s #4Dalton “Hercules” Rosta (11-3) weighed in at 185.8 lbs to make their main event middleweight bout official. Battle will look to bounce back and prove he is still a threat to the division, while Rosta plans to impose his relentless pressure to secure an important victory against one of his toughest opponents in a deep division with everything to play for.
PFL Charlotte sees an addition to the card in the co-main event as #2Dovlet Yagshimuradov (26-8-1) and #6Simeon “Smooth” Powell (12-2) were unable to complete on last week’s PFL New York card. Dovlet weighed in at 205.0 lbs and Simeon clocked in at 204.6 lbs. Yagshimuradov is looking to put a stamp on his contention for the title while Powell is looking to steal his #2 spot in the rankings.
