Satoshi Ishii will have a considerable weight advantage over Muhammed ‘King MO’ Lawal after weighing in heavier than his rival at the early checks on Thursday morning.

The Japanese fighter is aiming to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Quinton Jackson last time out and will have at least a 20 pound weight gain on King Mo.

King Mo weighed in at 213lbs just after Ishii had tipped the scales at 236.6lbs.

Ishii made his Bellator debut at 157 earlier in the year and is headlining his second event for the company.


The Dublin fight night is a joint event between Bellator and BAMMA at the 3Arena.
