The latest Professional Fighters League Challenger Series show will feature eight fighters in the lightweight division, although only seven made weight.

PFL Challenger Series Week 4 headliner Damir Ferhatbegovic failed to hit the 156-pound limit for his bout against Elvin Espinoza. "The Bosnian Barn Cat" came in at 157.2 pounds, or 1.2 pounds above the cap. The fight will move forward at a 158-pound catchweight, with Ferhatbegovic receiving a fine of a percentage of his purse.

Ferhatbegovic (6-2-1) hasn't been defeated since 2017, coming into this meeting with three wins and a draw since getting submitted by Jonathan Pearce. His last performance in 2022 saw him knock out B.J. Bland inside the PFL cage, although it didn't earn him entry into the tournament. With the weight miss, another contract-winning opportunity may be on the rocks before he hits the stage.

Meanwhile, Espinoza (7-0) is undefeated and nicknamed "The Prodigy." The Miami-based fighter most recently won two straight fights inside PFL, by submitting Hopeton Stewart and winning a decision over Corey Jackson. He'll look to stay perfect as a professional, and came in on weight at 156 pounds on the dot.

PFL Challenger Series Week 4: Lightweights will air live on FuboTV on Friday at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
