That’s not all, however. Former Bellator interim heavyweight champion Valentin Moldavsky makes his return to the Bellator cage after his loss to Ryan Bader, which unified the heavyweight titles. Moldavsky is taking on Steve Mowry, the undefeated prospect who is making a huge leap in competition.
The always tough out in Bruna Ellen squares off with former Bellator flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, who is on a two-fight losing streak, the first of her career. Fans will also get to see Said Sowma, who may be in line for a heavyweight title fight if he can get a couple more wins.
Plus Austin Vanderford returns to the cage after he got walloped by Gegard Mousasi in their middleweight title bout. Vanderford hopes to get back on the winning path after his first career loss by taking on Aaron Jeffery.
