Eddie Alvarez, Jorge Masvidal and others weigh in for Bellator V at Hara Arena

Each of the eighteen mixed martial artists set to compete on tomorrow night's Bellator V card at the Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio, tipped the scales today for the official fighter weigh-ins.

The event is set to showcase the two remaining semifinal match ups from the promotion's lightweight tournament. Perhaps the favorite to take the title, Eddie Alvarez, and his opponent Eric Reynolds, both came in a little heavy (157.5 lbs.) for their main event fight.

While that's a pound and a half over the 156 pound division limit, neither fighter was penalized due to an agreement from both sides prior to today's meeting.

The other sixteen competitors each hit their respective marks, including the mammoth Josh Barnes who came in just two pounds under the 265 pound division limit for his heavyweight bout against Dave Herman. "Pee Wee" will be giving up a whopping 25 pounds in tomorrow night's featured non-tournament fight.

Here are the complete weigh in results for Bellator V:

Lightweight Tournament Semifinal Bouts:

155 lbs.: Eddie Alvarez (157.5) vs. Eric Reynolds (157.5)
155 lbs.: Jorge Masvidal (156) vs. Toby Imada (154.5)

Non-Tournament Preliminary Bouts:

265 lbs.: Dave "Pee Wee" Herman (238) vs. Josh Barnes (263)
265 lbs.: Raoul Romero (222) vs. Dan Evensen (252.5)
145 lbs.: Matt "Jager Bomb" Jaggers (145) vs. Pete Dominguez (145)
155 lbs.: Frank Carabello (145.5) vs. Waylon Lowe (155)
170 lbs.: John Troyer (171) vs. Justin Edwards (169.5)
265 lbs.: Joey Beltran (233) vs. Sherman "The Tank" Pendergarst (229)
117 lbs.: Jessica Pene (117) vs. Tammie Schneider (117.5)

*Note: Fighters are allowed one extra pound in non-title fights.

The action takes place live tomorrow night (May 1) in Dayton and will be shown via tape delay 24 hours later on ESPN Deportes.
