Bellator 281 London
Importantly with all but one fighter making weight, no issues occurred and all fights will go ahead as advertised. Now with the weight cutting out the way, all 26 fighters will be hydrating and getting themselves in fighting shape for their respective bouts on Friday. In other words, be ready for a great night of fights.
At the top of the card, both Michael Page and Logan Storley made championship weight. So above all whoever wins will be crowned the new Bellator Interim Welterweight champion, and will face the current undisputed champ, Yaroslav Amosov at some point down the line.
