Bellator MMA is set to debut on the DAZN streaming service with a blockbuster card featuring a superfight between middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi and welterweight champ Rory MacDonald, as well as a fourth grudge match between Quinton Jackson and longtime rival Wanderlei Silva.
With the weigh-ins for Saturday’s Bellator event in the books, the Viacom-backed promotion will begin its welterweight tournament, as Andrew Koreshkov and Douglas Lima fight for the third time, but this time for the opening round of the welterweight grand prix.
Emerging prospect Aaron Pico takes his biggest step up in competition as he takes on former title challenger Leandro Hugo on the main card.
