Bellator 175 weigh-in results: Bulky ‘Rampage’ out-weighs ‘King Mo’ by 41 lbs.

By Tom Taylor - March 30, 2017

Back in May of 2014, in the main event of Bellator’s first-ever pay-per-view, former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson scored a controversial – and admittedly lackluster – defeat of Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal. Tomorrow night in the main event of Bellator 175, the two Bellator stars will go at it again.

The key difference between this Bellator 175 rematch and the pair’s original fight is that it will occur at heavyweight, rather than light heavyweight. That means neither man was forced to endure a weight cut.

Rampage took full advantage of this luxury. At today’s Bellator 175 weigh-ins, he tipped the scales at a whopping 253 lbs. King Mo, meanwhile, weighed in at a much lighter 212 lbs. That’s a 41 lb. disparity, if math isn’t your strong suit.

Another key detail of this weigh in ceremony is that featherweight contender Emmanuel Sanchez missed the featherweight division’s 146 lb. limit. As such, his bout with Marcos Galvao will now go down as a catchweight.
