The latest Bellator show will see former UFC fighters Lyoto Machida (26-9) and Phil Davis (21-5, 1 NC) collide once again. Both men originally fought in 2013 and Davis pulled off the unanimous decision win. The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion is coming off his first loss in Bellator MMA, whereas Davis is in the midst of a strong two-fight winning streak that saw the veteran beat both Karl Albrektsson and Liam McGeary via TKO.
In the co-main event, Cat Zingano (10-4) will be making her Bellator MMA debut against Gabby Holloway (6-5). Zingano hasn’t been able to recapture the magic that she had before her UFC Bantamweight title loss to Ronda Rousey at UFC 184, as the featherweight comes in cold with only one win in her last five fights.
Expect Taylor Johnson, Raymond Daniels, Rafael Carvalho, Leslie Smith, Jack May, and Keith Lee to be in action. Check out the advertised card below:
