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!

What do you guys think of Pat Curran nowadays? I used to think he'd be a top 5 FW in the UFC if he came over, now not so much but I don't know what I think of him anymore.
