Bellator Fighting Championships held the official weigh-ins for the final event of Season Six this evening at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, the same venue for Friday’s live event.
Bellator 70 is headlined by a heavyweight title bout between champion Cole Konrad (265.2) and Season Five winner Eric Prindle (265). Also official is a Season Six lightweight final between Rick Hawn (156) and Brent Weedman (156).
The live event begins tomorrow evening at approx. 7pm EST (4pm PST) at Spike.com (or Bellator.com) with the live streaming prelim matches before the the action switches to the MTV2 television broadcast at 8pm EST for the main card.
One fighter failed to make weight, as Kelvin Tiller weighed in five pounds over weight for his middleweight bout. Tiller was given extra time to cut down from 190.8-lbs, but with that much to lose it’s likely the two will agree to a catchweight bout.
