Two Bellator Season Eight Tournament Finals are official for this Thursday night’s Bellator 94 event as light heavyweights Emanuel Newton (204.4) and Mikhail Zayats (205.6), as well as lightweight finalists Saad Awad (155.7) and David Rickels (155.8), all made weight for their respective matches.
Bellator 94 is scheduled to take place on March 28, 2013 at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida, the same location for today’s official weigh-ins.
Three undercard fighters had trouble making weight on their initial attempts. Kenny Moss, Patrick Cenoble, and late replacement fighter Ronnie Rogers all missed weight on their first attempts.
Both Moss and Rogers made weight on their subsequent attempt but Cenoble wasn’t able to make weight despite the extra time given him. Cenoble will instead face Tony Fryklund in a 157-lbs catchweight bout.
Rogers was an unannounced replacement for fighter Shah Bobonis who had been scheduled to meet Joe Taimanglo.
