Bellator 186 weigh-in highlights video, photos with classic apparel from Macfarlane, Davis

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The ceremonial weigh-ins for Bellator 186 are in the books, and there were some solid costumes a couple days after Halloween.

In the main event, Ryan Bader (23-5 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) puts his light heavyweight title on the line for the first time against challenger Linton Vassell (18-5 MMA, 7-2 BMMA). The two were cool and collected at their face-off.

But the evening’s highlights came from women’s flyweight title challenger Ilima Macfarlane (6-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA), who fights Emily Ducote (6-2 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) for the vacant belt, and former light heavyweight champion Phil Davis (17-4-1 MMA, 4-1 BMMA), who takes on Leo Leite (10-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

Macfarlane, a Hawaiian now living in San Diego, wore traditional Hawaiian garb onto the stage for a great photo op. And Davis, a Penn State wrestling product who gets to fight on his former campus, wore a Nittany Lions wrestling singlet onto the scale.

Bellator 186 takes place Friday at Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State’s campus in University Park, Pa. The main card airs on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.
