Saturday night at The Forum in Inglewood, California, Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Freire will defend his title against A.J. McKee in the finals of Bellator’s Featherweight Grand Prix, a bout many have called the biggest and/or most important fight in Bellator history. While it is doubtful that it will generate the ratings of Kimbo Slice vs Dada 5000, the highest rated fight in Bellator’s history, and we’ll be blessed if it as entertaining as Eddie Alvarez and Michael Chandler’s first fight, the importance of this contest for the promotion, the fighters, and the sport are hard to exaggerate.
