Welp, 4 fighters missed weight, including Dufresne on the main card (has she ever made weight?) but otherwise we're set for a pretty solid Bellator card on a quiet weekend in terms of major MMA. 

The action kicks off Friday night. Prelims hit Spike.com around 7pm ET followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm. 

Enjoy!

Dufresne missed 145 now? She's really trying to start the Women's Rumbleweight Division huh?

Listening to her interview on how she's refocused and no one could see how good she was cutting to 135 etc. And then she misses FW by 5 pounds, is just not cool. I was guessing she'd miss weight but  it's still like ***.

Ash was doing a poor man's McGregor impersonation.

Nice comeback finish. Went from a C- to a solid B.

And Jimmy, no fight is "locked up" until you finish it.

VERY impressive by Marcin and I LOVE that they made sure to get it in but (holds breath) surely this isn't the last prelim. They have time for 2 more minimum.
