Bellator 98 weigh-in results LIVE from Uncasville for 'Shlemenko vs. Cooper'

The official weigh-in event for tomorrow night's (Sept. 7, 2013) Bellator 98 fight card takes place today (Sept. 6) at 5 p.m. ET from The Cabaret Theater inside Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

All 22 fighters who stepped on the scales made weight, but not without a few last minute changes to the fight card.

Headlining the main event will be a middleweight title fight between champion Alexander Shlemenko and challenger Brett Cooper. Cooper was recently a runner-up in the Bellator season eight middleweight tournament but is stepping up as the first fighter to cash in on the new Bellator injury replacement clause as Doug Marshall was unable to compete.

Joe Warren was supposed to fight in the co-main event but was not medically cleared by the local commission.

Last but not least, the season nine middleweight tournament will be kicking off with the quarterfinals as top contenders Andreas Spang, Jeremy Kimball, Brian Rogers, Jason Butcher, Giva Santana and more all vie for a shot at the title.
