On the day of the weigh-ins for Bellator 96, there has been a shakeup in the “Summer Series” heavyweight tournament. Vinicius Queiroz (6-3 MMA, 1-1 BFC) is out of a semifinal bout against Rich Hale (21-5 MMA, 6-2 BFC) in the four-man tourney, and stepping in to take his place will be Ryan Martinez (9-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC).

Weigh-ins for the event take place today in Oklahoma, which theoretically shouldn’t be much issue for Martinez since he fights at heavyweight
