Bellator 293 weigh-in results: One main card bout canceled but all others on weight

Official weigh-ins for Bellator 293 took place Thursday at the Bellator host hotel.

The nearby Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif., hosts Friday’s event, which has a main card on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.

All fighters who actually made it to the scale Thursday made weight.

Among those who weighed in were Marcelo Golm (10-3 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) and Daniel James (14-6-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), who meet in the heavyweight main event, and Leah McCourt (7-2 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) and Cat Zingano (13-4 MMA, 3-0 BMMA), who fight in the women’s featherweight contenders bout co-feature.

A welterweight fight between Rustam Khabilov (24-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Jaleel Willis (16-4 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) was canceled minutes before weigh-ins. Willis’ manager Matt Weibel, of First Round Management, tweeted the cancellation was due to an issue on Khabilov’s side.

As a result of the cancellation, Archie Colgan (6-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) vs. Justin Montalvo (5-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) has been elevated to the main card.
