Bellator 257 takes place at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn., on April 16 and features a pair of light heavyweight grand prix quarterfinals: Vadim Nemkov vs. Phil Davis and Yoel Romero vs. Anthony Johnson. The card will air on Showtime.
Weichel has lost three of his last four promotional appearances, a stretch that includes split-decision setbacks against Patricio Freire and Goiti Yamauchi as well as a five-round unanimous verdict to Emmanuel Sanchez in the quarterfinals of the 145-pound tournament. The 36-year-old German also posted a decision win over Saul Rogers in the opening round of the bracket during that time.
After submitting Sam Sicila in the opening round of the featherweight grand prix, Carvalho suffered a first-round knockout loss to Freire in the quarterfinals at Bellator 252. That halted a six-bout winning streak for the SBG Ireland product.
