The monumental Bellator 300 arrives this Saturday in San Diego, with three title fights topping the historic event.
Yes, that should have been four, but with Linton Vassell withdrawing from a heavyweight title challenge against Ryan Bader, one championship pairing was lost. The remaining card is still as strong as any Bellator offering ever has been: undefeated Usman Nurmagomedov, the promotion’s lightweight champ, meets ex-champ Brent Primus in a lightweight grand prix semifinal with the belt on the line. Aside from that main event, Cris Cyborg finally meets “Alpha” Cat Zingano at featherweight, and women’s flyweight champ Liz Carmouche takes on friend and former champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane.
It could be the last time fight fans see Macfarlane, who has openly discussed retirement in the past year or two.
On the preliminary card, the likes of Sara McMann (facing Leah McCourt), Henry Corrales, the debuting Slim Trabelsi, and BJJ star Jena Bishop are all set to compete.
Weigh-ins for Bellator 300 will go down Friday morning, Oct. 6, in San Diego; Cageside Press is on the scene to bring you the results.
