Neither Kate Jackson nor Denise Kielholtz expected to be in this position, but another failed weight cut from Paul Daley has thrust them into the Bellator MMA spotlight.
Jackson will confront Kielholtz in the impromptu Bellator 247 headliner on Thursday at the Allianz Cloud in Milan, Italy, as the two flyweight hopefuls jockey for position in the long line that has formed behind undefeated champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane. They were charged with replacing the original Daley-Derek Anderson main event once the aforementioned Brit was hospitalized on the eve of the show.
