Bellator 173/BAMMA 28 Weigh-ins: Liam McGeary, Brett McDermott Make Headliner Official
One way or another, former Bellator
MMA light heavyweight champion Liam
McGeary will be fighting Friday night. After original opponent
Chris
Fields fell through due to injury and then replacement foe
Vladimir
Filipovic was booted off the card for visa issues, McGeary will
now face Brett
McDermott in a catch-weight bout.
At Thursday’s weigh-in, McDermott, who came in on about two full days’ notice, stepped onto the scale at 217.6 pounds, ready for the main event. McGeary didn’t look too bothered by the opponent switcheroo, though, and weighed in at 211.5.
