Cris Cyborg's PFL featherweight world title will not be on the line during her scheduled bout in Tampa on Saturday after her opponent, Ketlen Vieira, failed to make the required weight limit. Despite the title being removed from the immediate stakes, Cyborg agreed to vacate her title if she loses the upcoming fight.

The weight miss by Vieira alters the championship dynamics of the event, shifting the bout from a title defense to a non-title fight while retaining the stipulation regarding Cyborg's championship status based on the match's outcome.
