Bellator MMA is set to begin its European Series, starting with Bellator “Newcastle” headlined by Patricky Freire and Ryan Scope on Saturday.
Freire hit the scales at 156 pounds, as he prepares to face former BAMMA lightweight champion Scope (155) in the Bellator Newcastle main event Saturday at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle in Tyne, England. Co-headlining the event will be a lightweight matchup between highly-touted reality show star-turned prospect Aaron Chalmers (156) and Corey Browning (155.5) -- all of whom made weight without issue at Friday's official weigh-in.
