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.
