Bellator 300: Make your predictions for massive San Diego card with three title fights

(Updated Oct. 3, 2023, to remove Bader-Vassell title fight and update lineup.)

We want your predictions for Saturday’s Bellator 300 event in San Diego.

Our staff picks feature includes the consensus picks from MMA Junkie readers. Simply cast your vote for each bout below, and we’ll use the official tallies that are registered by Thursday at noon ET (9 a.m. PT).

Those MMA Junkie reader consensus picks will be part of the Bellator 300 main card staff predictions we release Friday ahead of the event. Bellator 300 takes place Saturday at Pechanga Arena in San Diego.
