Bellator 131 Weigh-In Results
The weigh-in for Bellator 131 took place today Friday, November 14 at 5 p.m. PST from San Diego’s Valley View Casino Center.
On the preliminary weigh-ins alone, three fighters missed weight and will have two hours to make the cut, proving once again that weight cutting is becoming a rampant issue.
Earlier in the day after Nam Phan found out that he could not cut anymore weight his fight with Mike Richman went from bantamweight to a catchweight of 143 pounds.
Lightweights Michael Chandler and Will Brooks had a war of words at their stare down and Bellator President Scott Coker had to step between the two.
Main eventers Tito Ortiz and Stephan Bonnar were told to keep it professional as they kept gabbering at one another. This one should be a war.
Bellator 131 will take place from the Valley View Casino Center on Saturday, November 15th with first fight taking place at 3:45 p.m. PST and streaming live on Spike.com. The main card will begin at 6 p.m. PST (9 p.m. EST) live on Spike TV.
