Bellator 282 Weigh-in Results: Middleweight Title Fight Set

The Bellator MMA middleweight championship will officially be on the line at Bellator 282 as both titleholder Gegard Mousasi and challenger Johnny Eblen successfully made weight.

Beyond the main event title fight, there are two other bouts scheduled for five rounds. Two bantamweight grand prix fights will see Leandro Higo take on Danny Sabatello and Magomed Magomedov face Enrique Barzola. All 28 fighters on the card made weight as the weigh-ins were devoid of much drama, aside from a brief shoving match between preliminary competitors.

Mousasi (49-7-2) will look to notch his 50th victory inside the Bellator cage. The champion hasn't lost a fight since 2019, and is currently riding a four-fight win streak. "The Dreamcatcher" most recently demolished Austin Vanderford in under 90 seconds. The Netherlands native officially weighed 185 pounds on the dot.

The challenger is the undefeated Eblen, who holds a professional mixed martial arts record of 11-0. "Diamond Hands" has won seven straight fights inside the Bellator cage, including a decision win over John Salter to earn this title shot. The middleweight also weighed exactly 185 pounds for the biggest fight of his career.

Bellator 282 will air live on Friday on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. Prelims begin on YouTube at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
