The Bellator 127 Weigh-Ins took place today in Temecula, California and two of the fighters on the card missed weight.
Today’s weigh-ins came from the Cabaret Theater inside the Pechanga Resort and Casino and the casino will host tomorrow night’s fight card.
The event will be headlined by a featherweight bout as former champion Daniel Straus (145.6 lbs) looks to get secure a title shot as he will meet season nine tournament finalist Justin Wilcox (145.7 lbs).
Initially, four fighters missed weight and the fighters were given an additional two hours to make weight by the California State Athletic Commission. While Saad Awad and Joe Pacheco were able to make weight on their second attempts, the same could not be said for Fernando Gonzalez and Rafael Silva.
