"Weigh-ins for the event, which will determine the finalists in the PFL Africa bantamweight, featherweight, welterweight, and heavyweight tournaments, were not exactly an orderly affair. In fact, an entire featherweight semifinal was demoted after both Patrick Ocheme (156.2 lbs) vs. Abdoul Razac Sankara (151 lbs) missed weight for their fight. It's now a catchweight "showcase" bout, while Mohamed Camara vs. Alain Majorique gets to take its place in the tournament."
