Bellator 290 gains: What all 28 fighters weighed on fight night

BAD MMA News — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 22:47:24 +0000

At Bellator 290 on Feb. 4 in Inglewood, Calif., 16 of the 28 fighters on the card gained more than 10 percent of their weight back. Two of those 16 exceeded the 15 percent threshold. MMA Junkie obtained a list of fight-night weights Monday from California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Foster. In California, fighters have their weights checked on fight day – not solely when they have to hit their marks on the scale. The extra procedure was instituted in 2017 as part of the commission’s efforts to cut back on excessive weight cutting
