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.

Josh Barnett's broken left hand
Strikeforce heavyweight Josh ‘The Warmaster’ Barnett Tweeted (@JoshLBarnett)this x-ray image of his broken left hand after last nights loss to Daniel Cormier in the Grand Prix Final.
– Here’s what happened in the first :30…still threw it though. Of course that might not have so wise LOL.
Cormier, coincidentally broke his right hand in the opening round also. The newly ground GP champion told the media at the post-fight press conference that he was planning on having surgery to repair the hand instead of waiting for it to heal like the last time.
Cormier broke his right hand on Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva’s jaw in their GP tournament semi-final match last fall.
