Here were the weigh in results:
Quote:
The official weigh-in event for tomorrow night's Bellator 61 fight card took place today (March 15, 2012) at 6 p.m. ET from The Orleans Room at Horseshoe Riverdome in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Of the 16 fighters who stepped on the scales today, two of them missed weight. Most important was main eventer Maiquel Falcao, who has two hours to drop 0.6 pounds.
Bellator 61 features a heavyweight tournament final as Thiago Santos and Eric Prindle's rematch from their original fight which ended inconclusively late last year with a no contest. The winner will earn a title shot against champion Cole Konrad.
Update: Santos vs. Prindle is postponed until next week due to an illness (which you can read about here). Falcao vs. Paraisy is the new main event.
The rest of the main card will comprise the Bellator season six middleweight tournament, which features top competitors like Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Maiquel Falcao, as well as season five mainstays like Brian Rogers and Vitor Vianna. Also competing is the top Russian prospect Vyachaslav Vasilevsky and "The Arm Collector" Giva Santana.
Complete Bellator 61 weigh in results after the jump:
