Bellator MMA has a massive show in store for Friday, April 15th in San Jose, CA.
The promotion announced on Wednesday that the expected featherweight title rematch between new champion A.J. McKee and Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Freire will headline Bellator 277, with the light heavyweight title and grand prix final between Vadim Nemkov and Corey Anderson serving as the co-main event.
McKee (18-0) won the featherweight crown with a knockdown and subsequent technical submission of Freire to cap off a brilliant tournament run. The 26-year-old swiftly KO’d Georgi Karakhanyan, submitted Derek Campos, Darrion Caldwell, and finally ‘Pitbull’ to realize his dream of winning a world title.
