Bellator lightweight misses lightweight limit, welterweight limit for Ryan Couture fight

There's a pretty good chance that Nick Gonzalez won't be fighting Ryan Couture on tomorrow's Bellator 143 prelims.

Normally, details on the Bellator preliminary card weigh-ins aren't really that newsworthy, but today is one of those days where it undeniably is. The leading prelim on tomorrow night's Bellator 143 show in Hidalgo, Texas is former UFC and Strikeforce fighter Ryan Couture against Legacy FC veteran Nick Gonzalez. To preface this, Gonzalez hasn't fought since getting submitted by Leonard Garcia in 2013, because his last scheduled fight on a Titan FC show was cancelled when Gonzalez fainted while cutting weight.
