Diana Avsaragova apologizes for Bellator 290 weight miss: ‘It’s totally my fault’

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Diana Avsaragova is not 100 percent satisfied with her return this past Saturday.

The unbeaten Russian prospect is glad she beat former title challenger Alejandra Lara at Bellator 290, but not happy with the conditions under which she came into the fight. Avsaragova (6-0 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) missed the women’s flyweight by nearly three pounds (128.8) Friday at the official weigh-ins.

“I want to apologize to (Lara) for missing weight, and I also want to apologize to Bellator and the fans,” Avsaragova said at the Bellator 290 post-fight news conference. “It was a great fight for me. It was a tough fight, and I’m happy – super happy that I won.”
