UNCASVILLE, Conn. – It’s a well-known theory in MMA that fighters tend to get crabby when they’re cutting weight, up to and including when they step on the scale. And while that may have been the case for Brandon Girtz on Wednesday at the Bellator 250 official weigh-ins , it might not be what contributed to his brief verbal dustup with Mike Mazzulli, director of athletic regulations for the Mohegan Tribe and the man who oversees Bellator’s weigh-ins ahead of events at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Girtz (16-9 MMA, 8-7 BMMA) stepped on the scale for his featherweight co-main event against Henry Corrales (17-5 MMA, 5-5 BMMA). Mazzulli announced his weight as 146 pounds – which is considered good to go in a non-title fight with the 1-pound allowance. Mazzulli then told Girtz he’d need to take his pants off and weigh in again.
