All fighters on the card made weight ahead of Saturday’s show at Wembley Arena.
All fighters on the Bellator London card made weight successfully earlier on Friday, so the biggest UK card in the company’s history remains intact. Bellator London is headlined by a middleweight world title fight as Gegard Mousasi (45-6-2) looks to defend his belt against jiu-jitsu ace, Rafael Lovato Jr. (9-0). Earlier on in the night, the Bellator 223 segment of the show sees UK favourite, Paul Daley (40-17-2), take on Erick Silva (20-10 1NC) in a welterweight clash.
Bellator’s event tomorrow evening in London will be a dual-broadcast airing, with Sky Sports and Channel 5 sharing the live broadcast in the U.K. Sky Sports will broadcast live between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. BST with the Channel 5 broadcast airing live between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m. BST. In the U.S., Bellator London will stream live on the Bellator app at 5 p.m. ET/4 p.m. CT, while the portion of the card billed as Bellator 223 will air as a delayed broadcast on Paramount Network, and simulcast on DAZN, at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.
