All 16 fighters slated for Thursday’s Bellator Fighting Championships 17 event, including lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez and fellow co-headliner Josh Neer, who meet in non-title fight, are now official for the event.
The weigh-ins took place Wednesday at the Citi Performing Arts Center’s Wang Theatre in Boston, which also hosts Thursday’s event.
