SAN DIEGO – The trio of title fights at Bellator 300 starts with a showdown storyline straight out of a movie.
Women’s flyweight champion Liz Carmouche (19-7 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) takes on longtime teammate, friend and former titleholder Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (13-2 MMA, 12-2 BMMA). It’s one of three title fights on the main card of the historic show.
Wednesday, Carmouche and Macfarlane took questions from the media at a pre-fight news conference at the host hotel. They were joined by Bellator president Scott Coker, the other four title fighters and former fighter Chael Sonnen, who served as the event’s emcee.
Check out the Carmouche-Macfarlane faceoff in the video above. Bellator 300 takes place Saturday at Pechanga Arena in San Diego. The main card airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.
