Ilima-Lei Macfarlane will no longer be fighting for the Bellator gold after missing weight Friday morning. Her good friend Liz Carmouche, who is also her good friend, didn’t hold it against her.
The two friends were set to compete for the Bellator women’s flyweight title on the main card of Bellator 300, but it has since become a one-way title fight after Macfarlane(13-2 MMA, 12-2 BMMA) weighed in at 126.6 pounds. Carmouche (19-7 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) can retain her title with a win or a draw, but the title will be vacated if Macfarlane emerges victorious in the five-round bout.
