Bellator 233 weigh-in video highlights, photos with middleweight showdown, ‘King Mo’ retirement fight

THACKERVILLE, Okla. – For the third time in 2019, Bellator sets up shop this week in Oklahoma.

Bellator 233 takes place Friday at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. The main card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.

In the main event, John Salter (16-4 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) takes on Costello van Steenis (12-1 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) in a fight between middleweight contenders. In the co-feature, Muhammed Lawal (21-9 MMA, 10-6 BMMA) puts on the gloves for what he says will be his retirement fight against Andrew Kapel (14-6 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

Thursday, the fighters made weight in the morning, then squared off at the ceremonial weigh-ins shortly after. Check out the highlights from the main card in the video above. And don’t miss our exclusive photo gallery below.
