Yaroslav Amosov and Jason Jackson throw down for Bellator MMA’s welterweight title at Bellator 301 this Friday in Chicago, capping off what is expected to be the final event of 2023 for the promotion.
What the future holds for Bellator is anybody’s guess right now. For months, talk of a sale has swirled, ever since the promotion drew a solid million viewer haul for Fedor Emelianenko’s retirement on CBS — then couldn’t seem to get invited back.
With the PFL among the potential suitors, there is still hope for Bellator, long the mixed martial art’s number two promotion. And while the shadow of that uncertain future no doubt casts itself over Friday’s card, there are plenty of fun fights to be found.
Aside from the main event, Sergio Pettis and Patchy Mix throw down in a bantamweight title unification bout, while Patricky Pitbull and Alexander Shabliy face off in the second lightweight grand prix semifinal.
Weigh-ins for Bellator 301 take place Thursday in Chicago; full results can be found below.
