Bellator MMA returns to The Forum in Inglewood, California, where the featherweight grand prix continues with the title on the line.
In the main event, Gegard Mousasi (186) takes on Lyoto Machida (186) in a rematch of their 2014 bout, where the Brazilian won by unanimous decision. The co-main event sees Patricio Freire (144.9) attempt to defend his featherweight belt when he takes on Juan Archuleta (144.6) as part of the tournament. "Pitbull" is coming off of a TKO win over Michael Chandler to become the lightweight champion as well.
