Preview of Josh Nason
Bellator returns to her unofficial home in San Jose, California, with two fights for the title and several UFC veterans on an interesting main map that we can see on DAZN.
The main event is welterweight champion Rory MacDonald against Jon Fitch, the last fight of the first round of the company's grand prize. The winner will face Neiman Gracie in the semi-finals while Michael "Venom" Page will face Douglas Lima next month in the other semifinal.
29-year-old MacDonald just lost his TKO defeat in the second round to middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi in September. It will be the first defense of the belt that he won against Lima in a decision made in January 2018. Fitch, 41, has won five straight victories in almost four years and has had a successful debut against Paul Daley during his promotional debut last May.
Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, featherweight champion, will face Veta Arteaga, pitting former light heavyweight champion Bellator against Phil Davis and Liam McGeary, former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson against Adam Piccolotti, and relative unknowns Gastos Bolanos against Nathan Stolen in the main game.
You can listen to the interviews of Dave Meltzer and Garret Gonzales with Fitch and Macfarlane's Media Week without subscription required.
The live coverage of Dave Meltzer begins at 10 pm Pacific Time / 7 pm Eastern Time.
