UNDEFEATED ILIMA-LEI MACFARLANE RETURNS HOME TO HAWAII ON DEC. 21 FOR FLYWEIGHT TITLE DEFENSE AGAINST KATE JACKSON EXCLUSIVELY ON DAZN

Deireadh Fómhair 7, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

**NÍOS MÓ, BELLATOR’S FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX CONTINUES AS UNDEFEATED A.J. MCKEE MEETS DEREK CAMPOS IN FIRST QUARTERFINAL MATCHUP**

***Tickets on sale next Friday, Deireadh Fómhair. 11***

**LOS ANGELES** – For the second time in as many years, Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii will host the homecoming of **Ilima-Lei Macfarlane** (10-0), as she puts her undefeated record and Bellator women’s flyweight title on the line against No. 1 contender **Kate Jackson** (11-3-1) in the main event on Saturday, Nollaig. 21, streamed exclusively on the DAZN app.

Chomh maith leis sin, *Bellator Hawaii* will feature the first quarterfinal matchup of Bellator’s Featherweight World Grand Prix, when the man with the longest winning streak in promotional history, **A.J. McKee** (15-0), takes on the always-exciting **Derek Réimsí** (20-9) in the evening’s co-headliner.

*Bellator: Macfarlane vs. Jackson –* one of the star-powered, year-end highlights of fight season on DAZN – will stream live exclusively on DAZN ag 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com, DAZN and globally on the Bellator Mobile App. Tickets go on sale next Friday, Deireadh Fómhair. 11 and can be purchased through Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com or the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena box office. Beidh bouts breise a fógraíodh sna seachtainí atá romhainn.

Rugadh agus tógadh i Honolulu, current Bellator women’s flyweight champ Macfarlane made her pro debut in 2015 le bua KO a chuaigh víreasach agus níor fhéach sé ar ais ó shin, remaining undefeated in her career. Le buanna suntasach thar **Valerie LETOURNEAU** agus **Veta Arteaga**, Macfarlane was the focal point of Bellator’s debut in Hawaii last year. Is céimí bródúil as Punahou Ardscoil Honolulu i 2009, D'fhreastail Macfarlane ina dhiaidh sin San Diego State University, i gcás ina mbeadh sí ag dul ar a thuilleamh céim Mháistreachta sna healaíona liobrálacha agus san eolaíocht le fócas ar cheisteanna dúchasacha - ábhar sí fós faoi paiseanta, launching "An Scoláireacht Ilimanator" for indigenous girls last year. Now Ilima-Lei turns her focus to Kate Jackson, who will be looking to play the role of spoiler when she enters the Bellator cage on December 21.

A winner of seven of her last eight fights, Kate Jackson has earned her way to a title shot against the division’s inaugural champion. A competitor on the 23rd season of *An Comhraiceoir deiridh*, Jackson hails from Lostwithiel, Corn na Breataine, Sasana, and most recently defeated **Lena Ovchynnikova** i Londain. Jackson made her Bellator debut in 2017 with a first round-victory over of **Colleen Schneider** and would later go on to dominate Anastasia Yankova at historic *Bellator 200* in front of her hometown crowd. Facing the biggest test of her career, Jackson looks to reign atop the flyweight division when she leaves Hawaii.

With an undefeated professional record of 15-0, including six knockouts and eight first round finishes, there doesn’t seem to be much more for the talent-oozing 24-year-old to prove to the MMA community before his name is routinely mentioned among the division’s elite. Fighting out of Long Beach, Calif., “Mercenary” is fresh off of a jaw-dropping performance that saw him finish **Georgi Karakhanyan** in only eight seconds just moments after watching his father, **Antonio McKee**, collect a knockout victory in what was the first ever father-son duo to compete on the same card in the US. With all 15 of his career wins coming under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion, the Team BodyShop product has made it clear that he has his sights on **Patricio "PitBull"** and his 145-pound belt, as he continues to build a strong argument as the new face of Bellator. Constantly looking for new records to break, McKee may have found the perfect match in Campos, as the two brawlers have combined for a remarkable 22 finishes over 36 victories gairme.

Fighting out of Lubbock, Texas, Campos will be competing in the first of the four quarterfinal matchups in Bellator’s Featherweight World Grand Prix, following a decisive victory over former featherweight world champion **Daniel Straus** ag *Bellator 226* this past September. The 31-year-old knockout artist is ready to build on his impressive professional record of 20-9, when he takes on undefeated superstar McKee on December 21. Always ready to trade blows, the heavy-handed veteran has spent much of his time competing in Bellator’s lightweight and welterweight divisions over the past six years of his career. Anois, “The Stallion” hopes to continue his impressive surge in the 145-pound class, as he prepares to go toe-to-toe with one of the most dangerous featherweights in the world. With a shot at one million dollars on the line, Campos will rely on his fearless fighting style and sound wrestling background if he wants to advance in what many have pinned as one of the most anticipated matchups in the second round.

*Flyweight World Title Bout:* **Ilima-Lei Macfarlane** (10-0) vs. **Kate Jackson** (11-3-1)
