All four big men in the Bellator MMA Season 10 heavyweight tournament have made weight for their semifinal-round matchups.
The weigh-ins took place at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. The same venue hosts Friday’s event, which includes a main card on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.
Among those weighing in are Lavar Johnson (245.3 pounds) and Blagoi Ivanov (255.7), who meet in a headliner that also serves as a heavyweight-tournament semifinal. In the other semifinal, Siala-Mou Siliga (264.9) takes on Alexander Volkov (235.7).
The two winners meet later this season, and the ultimate victor earns a title shot.
Additionally, big-show vet Vladimir Matyushenko (205.5) made weight for his retirement fight, which comes against fellow UFC vet Joey Beltran (204.5).
Official Bellator 116 weigh-in results included:
MAIN CARD (Spike TV, 9 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike.com, 7 p.m. ET)
