Ahead of the biggest event in company history, Bellator's marquee names took care of business on the scale.

Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva made weight for the 205-pound main event of Bellator NYC on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, as did heavyweight co-headliners Fedor Emelianenko and Matt Mitrione.

The Bellator NYC pay-per-view show and the accompanying Bellator 180 Spike television broadcast will also see the lightweight, welterweight, and light heavyweight titles contested. All six participants successfully made championship weight.

All the fighters on the televised Bellator 180 portion of the card hit the scales without issue, with only preliminary fighters Matt Rizzo, Sergio da Silva, and Bradley Desir were off the mark.
