Official fighter weigh-ins for Friday’s Bellator 119 event took place today, and all eight main-card participants made weight without issue.
The festivities took place at Casino Rama Arena in Rama, Ontario, Canada. The same venue plays host to Friday’s event, which includes a main card on Spike TV and prelims on Spike.com.
Among those who weighed in were Desmond Green and Daniel Weichel, who meet in a featherweight tournament final. They were recently promoted to the main-event slot following some changes to the card earlier this week. After making the fight official, Weichel promised to make the most of the opportunity.
“It’s amazing,” Weichel said. “It’s a dream come true fighting on Spike in the main event.”
The full Bellator 119 weigh-in results include:
MAIN CARD (Spike TV, 9 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike.com, 7 p.m. ET)
# Meisel was given one hour to lose the remaining 2.7 pounds but was unable to do so, and the fight will go on as a catchweight affair
