CONCHO, Okla.— The fighter weigh-ins for Bellator 42 took place this afternoon at the Lucky Star Casino in Concho, Okla., the same location that will host Saturday night’s light heavyweight tournament semifinals which will air LIVE on MTV2 starting at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.

Two fighters on the card did not make weight. Josh Arocho, who is scheduled to fight Ronnie Mann on the televised main card in a featherweight feature fight came in at 147.4 pounds, 1.4 pounds over the non-title fight limit.
