Bellator’s show on April 27 will be a championship doubleheader.
Flyweight titleholder Ilima-Lei Macfarlane is set to make the third defense of her belt when she meets Veta Arteaga in the co-main event of the San Jose card. MMA Fighting confirmed the matchup Saturday following an initial report by MMA Junkie.
The April 27 event is already headlined by Rory MacDonald’s upcoming 170-pound title defense against Jon Fitch, which serves as a quarterfinal tilt for Bellator’s welterweight grand prix.
Macfarlane (9-0) has won all eight of her appearances under the Bellator banner, six of which she finished via submission.
