Join us tonight (Friday, July, 12) on Bloody Elbow for live results and detailed play-by-play as Bellator 224 comes to the the Winstar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
The headliner features Bellator women’s featherweight champion, and Canada’s own, Julia Budd (12-2) defending her title against Israel’s Olga Rubin. A number of notable homegrown Bellator stars litter the main card. In the co-main event, former middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho (15-3) meets dynamic striker Chidi Njokuani (18-6). Ed Ruth (6-1) looks to bounce back from his first professional loss by the far more experienced Kiichi Kunimoto (20-7-2).
