Cris Cyborg

The early weigh-ins for Thursday’s Bellator 249 are in the books, and while the card will still feature a featherweight title fight, two fighters came in heavy.

Cris “Cyborg” versus Arlene Blencowe

In the main event, Cris “Cyborg” (22-2) will be looking to defend the featherweight title she took from Julia Budd in January. The former UFC champ stopped Budd in round four.

Blencowe (13-7) is riding a three-fight winning streak and is coming off a decision win over UFC veteran Leslie Smith in November.

“Cyborg” tupped the scales at 145 pounds for Thurday’s bout and Blencoew was 144.5.
