Reigning bantamweight champion Marlon Moraes (13-4-1) will square off with fellow superstar Cody “The Cali Cowboy” Bollinger (16-2, 1 NC) at a new catchweight of 147 pounds in the non-title, main event bout at the World Series of Fighting event at Sands Bethlehem Event Center in Bethlehem, Pa., on Saturday night live on NBC Sports Network. Originally slated to meet at a catchweight of 140 pounds, Bollinger weighed in unofficially at 147 pounds earlier in the day, prompting officials to increase the weight limit of the fight. Bollinger also weighed in officially at 147 pounds, while Moraes, after taking the opportunity to rehydrate shortly before weigh-ins, tipped the scales at 146.7 pounds. Bollinger accepted the fight last week after Moraes’ original opponent, Josh Hill, withdrew from the affair. All six other main card competitors, including lightweight (155 pounds) co-main event opponents Ozzy Dugulubgov (5-2) and Keon “The Black Assassin” Caldwell (10-2) made weight. Dugulubgov tipped the scales at 155.4 pounds and Caldwell clocked in at 155.5 pounds. Russian import Timur Valiev (7-1) weighed 135.5 pounds, while his bantamweight opponent, Isaiah “The Beast” Chapman (6-1), registered a weight of 134.8 pounds.
