Bellator 279 Weigh-in Results: 2 Title Fights Set; 1 Fighter Heavy


Bellator MMA's busy weekend in Hawaii will be capped off by Bellator 279, which features two title fights.

The main event will see featherweight queen Cristiane Justino look to defend her title once again against Arlene Blencowe, while the co-main event draws an interim bantamweight title tilt and tourney match between Juan Archuleta and Raufeon Stots. The card also features a second bantamweight grand prix bout between Kyoji Horiguchi and Patrick Mix. All fighters on the main card made weight, although prelim competitor Whittany Pyles (128) came in two pounds heavy for her flyweight contest against Sumiko Inaba (125.2).

"Cris Cyborg" has been undefeated since joining Bellator. After claiming the featherweight title from Julia Budd, she's since submitted Blencowe in 2020 and picked up wins with her fists over Leslie Smith and Sinead Kavanagh in 2021. Justino (25-2, 1 NC) officially weighed 144 pounds for the rematch.

Australia's Blencowe (15-8) earned her rematch after two straight wins. She rebounded from the submission to Justino by finishing Dayana Silva with punches, and then won a decision over Pam Sorenson in her subsequent outing. "Angerfist" officially weighed 144.6 pounds.

Bellator 279's main card will air live on Showtime at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT on Saturday, with the prelims streaming on YouTube at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. ET.
