Bellator 111 weigh-ins took place today, and all main-card fighters successfully made weight.
The festivities took place at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. The venue also plays host to Friday’s event, which includes a main card on Spike TV (9 p.m. ET) and prelims on Spike.com (7 p.m. ET).
Bellator 111, the second event of the organization’s 10th season, includes a headlining title fight between bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas (134.7 pounds) and challenger Anthony Leone (135). Additionally, the latest eight-man heavyweight tournament kicks off with four opening-round mathchups. All fighters were on weight for those bouts.
Two preliminary-card fighters, though, missed on their first attempt and had two additional hours to make weight. But both Daniel Miller and Stephen Banaszak returned to hit their limits, making each fight on the card official.
The full Bellator 111 weigh-in results included:
MAIN CARD (Spike TV, 9 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike.com, 7 p.m. ET)
* Daniel Miller weighed 186.7 on his first attempt, but made weight on his second try.
** Stephen Banaszak weighed 146.2 on his first attempt, but made weight on his second try.
