The Bellator 268 ceremonial weigh-in takes place today at 5 pm ET, from inside the same venue as tomorrow night’s event, the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. You can watch the final faceoffs before the Oct. 16 show in the embedded video above.
The card is headlined by two massive matchups in the light heavyweight Grand Prix tournament. First, in the co-main event UFC veteran and second-ranked 205-pound fighter, Corey Anderson will battle former two-division champion Ryan Bader in a semifinals scrap. Then in the headliner, fifth-ranked light heavyweight Julius Anglickas jumps in as a replacement for Anthony Johnson to face current division king Vadim Nemkov in a title fight and tournament semifinal bout.
