ولد ونشأ في هونولولو, current Bellator women’s flyweight champ Macfarlane made her pro debut in 2015 مع فوز KO الذي انتشر بسرعة ولم ينظر إلى الوراء منذ ذلك الحين, remaining undefeated in her career. مع انتصارات رائعة انتهت فاليري ليتورنو و فيتا أرتياغا, Macfarlane was the focal point of Bellator’s debut in Hawaii last year. خريج فخور بمدرسة بوناهو الثانوية في هونولولو في 2009, التحق ماكفارلين في وقت لاحق بجامعة ولاية سان دييغو, حيث ستواصل للحصول على درجة الماجستير في الفنون الحرة والعلوم مع التركيز على قضايا السكان الأصليين - وهو موضوع لا تزال شغوفة به, launching "منحة 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 المقاتل في نهاية المطاف, Jackson hails from Lostwithiel, كورنوال, انجلترا, and most recently defeated لينا أوفشينيكوفا في لندن. Jackson made her Bellator debut in 2017 with a first round-victory over of كولين شنايدر 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, كاليفورنيا., “Mercenary” is fresh off of a jaw-dropping performance that saw him finish جورجي 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 باتريك "بيتبول" 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 انتصارات المهنية.
Fighting out of Lubbock, تكساس, 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 دانييل شتراوس في Bellator 226 هذا سبتمبر الماضي. 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. الآن, “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.
