The official weigh-ins for “Bellator 54” took place Friday at New Jersey’s Caesars Atlantic City.
As it typically goes with Bellator’s weigh-ins, a slew of fighters missed their required marks and will require additional time to lose the excess pounds. Fortunately for the company, all of the middleweight tournament contestants made weight.
Tomorrow’s show takes place inside the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The show features the semifinals of Bellator’s Middleweight Tournament.
In addition, Bellator bantamweight champion Zack Makovsky (Pictured) will face Ryan Roberts in a non-title affair.
MTV2 will broadcast Saturday’s main bouts starting at 9PM ET/PT.
