With mixed martial arts becoming legalized in France in 2020, BELLATOR became the first promotion to hold a major MMA event with لڑائی 248 in October of that year.

In addition to the main and co-main event, a lightweight tilt pitting the last man to defeat media darling Paddy Pimblett, Søren Bak (15-1) against England’s Saul Rogers (15-4) is also official.
