Three Fighters Miss the Mark at the Bellator 284 Weigh-In
Three fighters came in overweight for their Bellator 284 bouts including main eventer Douglas Lima who was 1.8 pounds over the welterweight limit. Lima opted to not cut any additional weight and will likely give up a percentage of his purse to competitor Jason Jackson.
Also missing weight was Kevin Boehm, who weighed in 1.6 pounds over the featherweight limit for his bout with Akhmed Magomedov, and Mark Coates who came in 1.8 pounds over the bantamweight limit for his scheduled contest with Jaylon Bates.
All fights will move forward as scheduled.
