Bellator 67 weigh-in results: Champ Chandler (156), Gono (155.6) cleared
All Bellator 67 main-card competitors made weight for the show at today official fighter weigh-ins.
Today's festivities took place at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, Canada. The same venue hosts Friday's Bellator 67 event, which includes a main card on MTV2 and prelims on Spike.com.
Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler (156 pounds) and opponent Akihiro Gona (155.6) both easily made weight for their non-title headliner.
"We're excited to get in there and put on the show," Chandler said. "It's my first time fighting for the Canadian fans, so I'm ready to get in there and do it."
Ben Saunders (171) and Bryan Baker (171), who meet in the night's co-headliner, also made weight for their season-six welterweight-tournament semifinal. The winner advances to the finale and becomes one win away from staking a title shot.
Only preliminary-card fighter Will Romero (148.8) failed to make weight on his first attempt. He has an additional two hours to cut to 146 pounds.
