MMAmania will have the complete Bellator 85 weigh-in results live today as they happen. Bellator 85 features the season eight light heavyweight tournament quarterfinals as well as two title fights in both the featherweight and lightweight divisions.

The official weigh-in event for tomorrow night's (Jan. 17, 2013) Bellator 85 fight card took place today (Jan. 16) at 8 p.m. ET from the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California.

All of the 22 fighters who stepped on the scale successfully made weight.

The headlining fight for Bellator 85 will be a much-anticipated Bellator Lightweight Title Fight between champion Michael Chandler and challenger Rick Hawn. Neither man has fought since last May, when Chandler destroyed Akihiro Gono by knockout and Hawn won the season six lightweight tournament.

Also on tap will be a Bellator Featherweight Title Fight between champion Pat Curran and challenger Patricio Freire. Curran dethroned Joe Warren to capture the belt after winning his second tournament last year, although he was injured while preparing for his first title defense. Now healthy, he'll be stepping into the cage against a very hungry Brazilian who's been waiting for his shot at the title for well over a year and a half.

Don't forget that former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Renato Sobral will be making his Bellator debut in the 205-pound tournament.
