​A.J. McKee stated after his main event victory at PFL San Diego that his return to the featherweight division was solely about pursuing a championship. His fight-night weight revealed why that goal is so challenging: the California State Athletic Commission released each fighter’s weight on fight night, showing McKee entered Friday at 145.6 pounds and surged to 171.4 pounds by fight time, a 25.8-pound gain. He faced Salamat Isbulaev, who weighed 145.8 pounds on Friday and reached 162.5 pounds on Saturday, a 16.7-pound increase. In the co-headliner, Liz Carmouche earned a standout submission over UFC veteran Viviane Araujo, weighing 126 pounds on Friday and 147 pounds on fight night, a 21-pound rise. Carmouche has suggested adding a women’s bantamweight division to ease cutting, though she remains a top contender at 125 pounds and could meet Dakota Ditcheva if she stays in that class. Araujo went from 125.8 on Friday to 139.1 on Saturday, a 13.3-pound gain. Alfie Davis posted the largest percentage increase on the card, swelling from 156 pounds to 185.1 pounds for a 19% gain, before facing Alexander Shabliy. The full fight-night weights and the Friday-to-Saturday gains were: A.J. McKee 145.6 to 171.4 (25.8 pounds, 18%); Salamat Isbulaev 145.8 to 162.5 (16.7, 11%); Liz Carmouche 126 to 147 (21, 17%); Viviane Araujo 125.8 to 139.1 (13.3, 11%); Alexander Shabliy 155.8 to 172.6 (16.8, 11%); Alfie Davis 156 to 185.1 (29.1, 19%); Abraham Bably 205.6 to 220.1 (14.5, 7%); Rob Wilkinson 205.8 to 226.1 (20.3, 10%); Khasan Magomedsharipov 145.8 to 163 (17.2, 12%); Joshua Weems 146 to 163.5 (17.5, 12%); Ariane da Silva 126 to 142 (16, 13%); Jena Bishop 125 to 136 (11, 9%); Justin Wetzell 135.6 to 158 (22.8, 17%); Sarvadzhon Hamido 137.6 to 158.1 (20.5, 15%); Shannon Clark 125.4 to 141.5 (16.1, for SEO).
