Tonight’s Bellator 271 card has the potential to be one of the best cards of the year and chart the direction the promotion takes with certain divisions in 2022 and beyond.
At the top of the card is women’s MMA pioneer and current Bellator Women’s Featherweight champion Cris Cyborg as she defends her belt for the third time, but standing in her way is the rugged and heavy-handed Sinead Kavanagh.
Kavanagh looks to pick up the Irish MMA mantle for Bellator MMA with a win after last week’s tough losses by Peter Queally and James Gallagher at Bellator 270 in Dublin.
