You know the drill. Prelims kick off on Spike.com at 7pm followed by the main card at 9pm on Spike TV.

Decent card. I think the co-main is going to steal the show.

In fact, all these guys missed weight:

^ Silva has been given one hour to cut the remaining 1.9 pounds
# Oropeza has been given one hour to cut the remaining 1.4 pounds

+ Adkins has been given one hour to cut the remaining 1.4 pounds
* Contaldi has been given one hour to cut the remaining 0.7 pounds


Sammy OOOOO will be known from now on as Sammy OOOOreos

If Silva can't makr weight the fight will remain 5 rounds and if Joe wins he is the Bellator Interim Champion. If Silva wins there is no interim champion and Dantas remanes the only Bellator BW champion. 

The Interim thing is crap anyway Dantas just fought and will be back before the end of the year.

Also if Oropeza can't make weight he will be replaced in the tournament by Justin Baesman. This is all according to Jason Floyd.

I had Silva to beat Warren, changed my pick, hope it doesn't bite me in the ass. Thanks for missing weight and costing me what could've been a 24% tap dog pick.

If by any chance Silva KO's Joe in the 3rd, you can all be sure that somewhere in Israel a dude's headbutting the wall repeatedly :)

The fight card currently showing on Bellator.com shows Warren vs Silva with both at 135 pounds, so I assume Silva made weight on his second try.  The co-main is listed as Koreshkov vs Baesman at 170 pounds, so I assume Oropeza failed to make the weight on his second try.

It is rather humorous, since his buddy implied that Riggs (injury) and Koreshkov (had the flu, so the fight was moved from Bellator 115 to Bellator 118) pulled out because they were scared of Oropeza.  Does that mean Oropeza is now scared of Koreshkov and intentionally missed weight?  I would say no.  Stuff just happens sometimes.  Riggs' injury, Koreshvov's flu and Oropeza missing weight are just that  - things that happened without any ulterior motives.

Yep.  Implying cowardice to his opponents doesn't feel as good when something forces Oropeza out, now does it?

Rick, is he ok? Sucks he missed weight but if it was a health issue, it's probably better that he's not fighting.
