(Editor’s note: The weights for Kharitonov and Vassell initially were listed incorrectly based on Bellator’s press release but have since been corrected.)
The weigh-ins are in the books for this week’s Bellator 234 event, and the fighters on the main card all hit their marks.
In the main event, heavyweight contender Sergei Kharitonov (29-6 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) will attempt to continue to make his case for a title shot when he takes on Linton Vassell (18-8 MMA, 7-5 BMMA), who is looking for his first win in the heavyweight division.
Kharitonov tipped the scale roughly 22 pounds heavier than Vassell, but both men came in under the 266-pound heavyweight limit, so the fight is official.
Bellator 234 takes place Thursday at Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv. The main card airs on Paramount and the following day via tape delay.
