The middleweight title will be on the line in the main event of Bellator 155 Friday night when the California-based MMA promotion takes the journey up north to beautiful Boise, Idaho. Brazilian knockout artist Rafael Carvalho will make the first defense of his 185-pound crown, but trying to wrest the belt from him his mitts will be Surinamese-Dutch bomber Melvin Manhoef.
At Thursday’s weigh-ins, both main event combatants easily made weight. The challenger was up on the scale first and Manhoef nailed it, officially weighing 185 pounds. “The Blessed” followed suit by clocking in at 184.
