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).
