Paul Daley says he’s fit and ready to fight, but after a sequence of events led him to end up in a hospital waiting room, his main event fight with Derek Anderson at Bellator 247 on Thursday has been called off. Daley missed weight at the official weigh-ins after tipping the scale at 172.6 pounds for his welterweight headliner, but while he acknowledged his weight miss, the Englishman explained how changed circumstances during his rehydration process ended up with him taking a trip to a local hospital. Explaining his situation in an Instagram video , Daley said, “I weighed in at 172.6 pounds, so I was 1.6 pounds over. Sorry – I got that a little bit wrong there. Went down to the weigh-ins, felt OK, still feeling the effects, knew I was going to come in over. I let the Bellator staff know I was going to come in over.
