All fighters from this weekend's Bellator 45 main card today successfully made weight for the show.The weigh-ins took place at L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort in Lake Charles, La.
Bellator 45, which takes place Saturday at the same resort, features the finale of two season-four tourneys. As with all of Bellator's season-four events, the main card airs on MTV2.
Bellator 45 is the organization's final season-four event. This past weekend, the organization drew a season-best 325,000 viewers for Bellator 44.
Officials again look for strong numbers on Saturday. In the headliner, Richard Hale (204.4 pounds) and Christian M'Pumbu (199.4) fight in the finale of the season's light-heavyweight tournament. With no existing champion in the weight class, the bout will serve as a five-round title affair. The winner gets the belt and $100,000 in total.
Featherweights Patricio Freire (145.8) and Daniel Straus (145), meanwhile, fight in the featherweight-tourney finale. The winner of the three-rounder gets $100,000 in total pay and a guaranteed title shot with current champ Joe Warren.
Rounding out the main card is Sam Alvey (184.6) vs. Karl Amoussou (185). The winner gets a spot in Bellator's season-five middleweight tourney.
