Bellator 62 Weigh In Results – Santos Misses Weight, Heavyweight Finale Cancelled
The fighters have weighed in for Bellator 62 and just as the case was last week, the Heavyweight Tournament Finale has been scrapped. Eric Prindle and Thiago Santos initially fought last season and the bout was declared a no contest after Prindle was unable to continue after a low blow. The bout was then scheduled for last week at Bellator 61 however Prindle was too sick to fight and also alluded to the fact that Santos may have been heavy anyway. Fast forward to tonight’s weigh in and it looks like Prindle may have been on to something as Santos did in fact miss weight, coming in nearly 12 pounds over the Heavyweight limit. Bellator officials have declared Eric Prindle the Season 5 Heavyweight Tournament victor and he will face Cole Konrad at a later date.

^Missed weight, Given additional two hours to drop final 2.2lbs
277.8 wow big miss for a heavyweight, this fight will never happen what a joke.
Konrad vs Prindle will be a huge mismatch , bring some tylenol Eric
Konrad crushes Prindle!
So does Prindle get the show/win bonus etc for the HW tourney.
What a fuckin disaster and show of disrespect by that bum Santos to miss weight by 12 lbs for the tourney. Should definitely be cut!
Disgusting. Santos has had 4 months to get ready for this fight and he misses by 12 lbs. BRUTAL !
Yes Pringles received the 100,000 tourney win $$$$. Mmmmmm Pringles…
Bellator will not cut Santos but said “will help him lose the weight” ???
Good Pringle should get paid!
Santos should be cut!
Agree 100%
Holy shit Woodard just tapped Patricky Pitbull!!!
Fucked up his arm BAD!!!!!!!! Kimura popped the elbow right out, Pitbull is pretty messed up!
