Bellator 220 kicks off tonight, April 27, from the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The event will be capped off with a welterweight Grand Prix opening round matchup between current champ Rory MacDonald and streaking veteran Jon Fitch. MacDonald’s 170-pound belt will also be on the line.
Bellator’s women’s flyweight strap will be up for grabs in the co-main event when the undefeated 9-0 champ Ilima-Lei Macfarlane takes on the 5-2 Veta Arteaga. Before that, the 26-8 longtime MMA vet Benson Henderson takes on the 11-2 up and comer Adam Piccolotti in the lightweight division. Also on the main card will be a lower-stakes rematch between two of Bellator’s former light heavyweight champs Phil Davis and Liam McGeary.
