Bellator 300 Weigh-in Results: Ilima-Lei Macfarlane Heavy, Ineligible to Win Belt

Editor's note: The article has been updated on 2:50 p.m. ET to reflect additional information about competitors.

For the second time in a row, champion Liz Carmouche will be facing a challenger that missed weight.

A stacked Bellator MMA event is now official as the promotion celebrates a monumental milestone of hitting 300 numbered events. Earlier this week, the organization had four championship bouts booked for the "quadruple main event." After an illness to one heavyweight challenger and a weight miss for one at flyweight, Bellator's four-pronged main card has changed significantly. While three title fights still remain on the billing, the third will be a one-way affair, as only the champ can retain her belt at night's end.

The final bout on the Bellator 300 marquee will see Usman Nurmagomedov look to defend his lightweight throne against Brent Primus in what is also a lightweight grand prix semifinal bout. Meanwhile, Cristiane Justino will put her featherweight strap on the line against Cat Zingano in the co-main event. Additionally, Carmouche was aiming to put her flyweight title up for grabs against former champ Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, but the Hawaiian fighter missed weight. Macfarlane initially weighed 127.4 pounds and then 126.6 pounds when using the towel, only to come back heavier at the end of extra time at 128.2 pounds. Like Carmouche's last championship encounter, challenger Macfarlane will not be able to win the belt if she prevails. Should Carmouche win, she retains it, but if she loses, the crown is vacant. As for the rest of the card, two competitors missed weight, but against one another, and the promotion may have subsequently changed it to 138-pound catchweight affair.

A perfect 17-0 as a professional, Nurmagomedov has become a force to be reckoned with inside Bellator. The Dagestani fighter is coming off impressive wins over Benson Henderson and Patricky Freire. The 25-year-old officially weighed 154.8 pounds for his seventh fight in the promotion.

Primus, a former lightweight champion himself, is coming off a win over Mansour Barnaoui. This will serve as the semifinal for Bellator's lightweight world grand prix, as the victor will face the winner of Freire vs. Alexandr Shabliy. Primus hit the scales at 154.8 pounds for the main attraction.

Bellator 300 will stream live on Showtime on Saturday, with the main card starting at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Prelims will air earlier on YouTube, beginning at 6:25 p.m. ET/3:25 p.m. PT.
