Bellator 277 is set after all fighters made weight ahead of its stacked card topped by two title fights.
The main event will be a championship rematch between A.J. McKee and Patricio Freire. McKee (18-0) stayed perfect in his mixed martial arts career by submitting Freire (32-5) in under two minutes to claim the Bellator MMA featherweight title. Now "Pitbull" will look to reclaim the title he once held. Both fighters easily made weight with "Mercenary" weighing 144.4 pounds while Freire stepped on the scale at 144.6 pounds.
The co-main event is equally important as Vadim Nemkov will defend his light heavyweight title against Corey Anderson.
