Inarguably one of the greatest 170-pound fighters walking the planet, Rory MacDonald returns to the welterweight division following a once-in-a-lifetime “champion vs. champion” matchup againstGegard Mousasi 在 2018. 現在, “The Red King” sets his sights on one million dollars and clearing the landscape at welterweight, entering a tournament where he will defend his belt each and every time he steps inside the cage. First up for the British Columbia, Canada-native is Jon Fitch, a 40-fight veteran who has gone toe-to-toe with the some of the sport’s best, including Georges St-Pierre, B.J. 佩恩, Jake Shields and保羅·戴利. 現在, 離家近, the AKA trained-fighter will have his first shot at Bellator gold.

Ilima-Lei Macfarlane closed out 2018 in style, remaining undefeated and defending her title in front of a sold-out Blaisdell Arena during Bellator’s debut in Hawaii. Finishing瓦萊麗·萊托諾 via submission was the toughest test of the 28-year-old’s budding career, but now it’s back to business for the only flyweight champion in Bellator history, as she puts her belt on the line against Veta Arteaga in the co-main event. A native of Boise, 愛達荷州, Arteaga has called Bellator home since 2016, when she made her promotional debut against Macfarlane’s Team Hurricane Awesome teammate Jackie Vandenburgh, a fight she won via unanimous decision. 現在, after racking up three more victories, including wins against Bellator Kickboxing champion丹妮絲·基爾霍爾茨（Denise Kielholtz） and former flyweight title challengerEmily Ducote, 31-year-old Arteaga is ready for her opportunity to become champion.
