Hired by Bellator from the UFC at the end of 2020, Corey anderson will be in the semi-finals of the light heavyweight tournament. The company's bet, the fighter weighed 92,3kg.

Former champion of the category and willing to advance to the final to try to retake the throne, Ryan bader weighed 92,5kg.

The only Brazilian at the event, Raphael Montini will make his debut for the company this weekend. Representative of the bantamweights (up to 61,2kg.) on Saturday, the Rio native reached the exact limit of the group, the same amount as his rival, Jaylon Bates.

Only flaw

The failure in the weigh-in was due to Bobby Lee. Representative of the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg), the fighter lost 300g more. above the determined.

Lee's opponent on the show, Nick Browne secured 70,4kg. Even with the failure, the duel will continue on the card, but Bobby will pass on part of his purse to his rival.
