UNCASVILLE, Conn. – MMA Junkie was on scene at Thursday’s official Bellator 264 weigh-ins where one fight was canceled.
The weigh-ins took place at Mohegan Sun Arena. The same venue hosts Friday’s event, which has a main card on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.
Among those who weighed in were Bellator middleweight champion [autotag]Gegard Mousasi[/autotag] (47-7-2 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) and title challenger [autotag]John Salter[/autotag] (18-4 MMA, 8-1 BMMA). Also, contenders [autotag]Magomed Magomedov[/autotag] (18-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) and Raufeon Stots (16-1 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) stepped on the scale ahead of their bantamweight clash.
