Bellator 220 weigh-in results: Both title fights greenlit

By Drake Riggs - April 26, 2019

Tomorrow night in San Jose, California, the Bellator welterweight and flyweight titles will be on the line.

Ilima-Lei-Macfarlane

Looking for his first Bellator welterweight title defense and to advance to the semifinals of the welterweight Grand Prix will be Rory MacDonald who is back in his normal weight class after trying to dethrone middleweight champ, Gegard Mousasi.

His opponent, Jon Fitch hopes to take the belt from him and go on to win the tournament. Awaiting the winner will be BJJ ace, the undefeated Neiman Gracie.

The Bellator 220 co-main event features “The Pineapple Princess,” a.k.a. “The Ilimanator,” Ilima-Lei MacFarlane as she defends her flyweight title against the scrappy Veta Arteaga.

Bellator 220 will also see Benson “Smooth” Henderson look to extend his current winning streak to three-straight by taking out Adam Piccolotti. A win for Piccolotti would also extend his streak to three.

Former Bellator champions Phil Davis and Liam McGeary are set to rematch. Davis, of course, won the title in 2016 by dominating McGeary on route to a unanimous decision win.

The official Bellator 220 weigh-ins took place on Friday morning at Marriott Hotel in San Jose. Check out all the fighters weigh-in results below.

*Justin Tenedora and Erik Gunha sacrifice 20 percent of their purses due to missing weight.

Harry Kettle - October 21, 2024

Bellator star Paul Hughes wants Conor McGregor in his corner for a possible title shot against Usman Nurmagomedov. Last weekend, Paul Hughes made an emphatic statement. In his battle with AJ McKee at PFL: Battle of the Giants, he was able to put in the performance of a lifetime. He dropped the favorite and hurt him on multiple occasions, eventually riding his way to a split decision win. Now, many believe the natural next step is for him to challenge Bellator champion Usman Nurmagomedov for the belt.

It appears that Bellator veteran Dillon Danis wants to return to the cage. The controversial ‘El Jefe’ hasn’t been seen in action since his boxing match with Logan Paul a year ago. In the co-main event of Misfits 10, Dillon Danis was badly outboxed by ‘The Maverick’. Despite a lot of pre-fight trash talk, the MMA fighter was very little more than a heavy bag last October.

Yaroslav Amosov, a former Bellator welterweight champion, has announced his departure from Bellator MMA and is teasing a UFC run. Amosov had been with Bellator since the summer of 2018. He went on a tear under the promotion, going 8-1. Along the way, the Ukrainian bruiser became Bellator’s 170-pound champion with one successful title defense and a unification win. He suffered the first loss of his pro MMA career after being stopped by Jason Jackson in late 2023.

Khabib Nurmagomedov started choking Umar Nurmagomedov, seemingly out of anxiety, while watching Usman Nurmagomedov compete last week. Last week, Usman Nurmagomedov defeated Alexander Shabliy with a dominant unanimous decision triumph to successfully retain his Bellator lightweight championship. It was a really solid display and in his corner, he had Umar Nurmagomedov and the great Khabib Nurmagomedov there to guide him through the contest.

Lorenz Larkin picked up a huge win over Levan Chokheli last night in their battle at Bellator San Diego. Over the course of the last 15 years, Lorenz Larkin has served as an interesting case study in mixed martial arts. For the longest time, he was viewed as someone who has the potential to be a real superstar. In equal measure, some of his appearances inside the cage didn’t quite live up to the hype.
