For the second straight weekend, Bellator MMA held shows with plenty of young talent on display from top to bottom. In the main event, featherweights Leah McCourt and Sara Collins faced off in a No. 1 contender fight for a potential fight against champion Cris Cyborg.
Professional Fighters League Europe star Simeon Powell was featured in the Bellator Champions Series London co-main event as he returned home. Although he came up short in the 2023 PFL Europe Championship, he remains a bright prospect on the PFL/Bellator roster.
