The path toward a title shot for Henry Corrales will be somewhat obstructed.
The Bellator fighter will need clearance from a physician to continue fighting at featherweight, per a document from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) obtained Wednesday by MMA Fighting. CSAC doctors found that Corrales had an “excessive” weight cut prior to his big 67-second knockout of Aaron Pico in the co-main event of Bellator 214 last Saturday night in Inglewood, Calif.
Corrales, who has now won five straight, gained back 14.8 percent of the contracted weight from the weigh-ins to fight night, per CSAC data.
