SAN JOSE – The Bellator 206 ceremonial weigh-ins took place today, and MMAjunkie was on the scene.
All in all, the affair was a relatively subdued one, with little in the way of heat as the main card fighters faced off. Once-bitter rivals Quinton Jackson and Wanderlei Silva had one terse exchange and left the stage. They’ll never be friends, but they aren’t any bigger enemies, it seems.
Bellator 206 takes place Saturday at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and the entire card streams on DAZN.
Competition remains the focus of the event. Bellator is holding its first superfight with middleweight champ Gegard Mousasi (44-6-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) defending his belt against welterweight titleholder Rory MacDonald (20-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), who will make a quick turnaround to fight in a welterweight grand prix early next year. Mousasi is a solid betting favorite at -250.
In the co-feature, Jackson (37-13 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) and Silva (35-13-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) get down a fourth time to determine whether their series ends in a stalemate, or Silva gets ultimate bragging rights at 3-1.
