The Bellator 291 fight card Amosov vs Storley is ready to take place Saturday, February 25, 2023 live from the 3 Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The main event is for the welterweight world championship and kicks off at 11:00am cst on Showtime.

In the main event, Yaroslav Amosov (26-0-0) defends his title against Logan ‘Storm’ Storley (14-1-0) who is out to avenge his only loss. The two faced each other in November of 2020 where Amosov took the split-decision win. On this night, the championship will become undisputed.

On a side note, it’s very hard not to root for the Ukrainian champion, especially after watching the below, Bellator champion’s story video.


In the co-main event, Portuguese fighter out of Dublin, Ireland Pedro Carvalho (12-6-0) will meet Jeremy ‘Junior Bacon Cheeseburger’ Kennedy (18-3-0) in a featherweight bout. While JBC doesn’t appear to have consumed too many burgers in his past, he will likely be looking to get his third straight win, with a victory over Carvalho.

Below are the remaining Bellator matchups for this February 25th event, and the odds at the time of this posting.

Bellator 290 Fight Card, Ryan Bader vs Fedor Emelianenko for the Light Heavyweight Crown

That’s right, the Bellator 290 fight card will pit an mma GOAT against the current light heavyweight title holder, Ryan Bader. The event will air live on Saturday February 4, 2023 live from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA.

Ryan Bader is looking to defend his title for the second time, since winning it in January of last year against former, interim champion, Valentin Moldavsky at Bellator 273. Bader defeated Emelianenko in January of 2019 by way of round 1 TKO, which won him the heavyweight title. Now the two will square off again which will undoubtedly lead to some heavy, leather flying.

Long time MMA fans are no stranger to Russian fighter Fedor ‘The Last Emperor’ Emelianenko. Having been inactive for nearly two years should play in favor for the champion, Ryan Bader. Fader has upset some amazing fighters in the past, however, will he be able to do it again at 46. Either way, this will be his retirement fight, and we wish him the best and thank him for the years of entertaining brutality.

The Bellator 289 fight card is ready to throw down this Friday December 9, 2022 with prelims at 5:25pm ET and the main card at 9:00pm ET from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. The main card headlines two title fights, Interim Champion Raufeon Stots vs Danny Sabatello for the bantamweight title and champion Liz Carmouche vs Juliana Velasquez for the women’s flyweight championship.

In the headline event, Stots vs Sabatello, Stots will likely try to utilize his wrestling to neutralize the striking of the trash talking Danny Sabatello. Sabatello fights out of the renowned American Top Team and has been on a run of his own in the division. Here’s a brief video, courtesy of the PFL, showcasing the main fights.

The always impressive, Liz Carmouche looks to defend her title against Juliana Velasquez in the co-main event. Carmouche should be the favorite in this one as she most recently TKO’d Juliana in her last bout in April. Below is a new treat from Bellator, they have employed the talented Chael Sonnen to do some of the fight promoting on his viral channel. Below the video is the remaining Bellator 289 fight card.

Bellator 288 Fight Card

Bellator 288 Fight Card Fan Art

The Bellator 288 fight card is set to go down this Friday, November 18, 2022 live from the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, IL. This fight card features two title fights, when light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov faces Corey Anderson, and lightweight champion Patricky Pitbul faces the undefeated Usman Nurmagomedov.

The light heavyweight champion, Vadim Nemkov and Corey Anderson faced each other in April of this year at Bellator 277. That fight was ruled a no contest after an unintentional headbutt ended the fight. Many questions will hopefully get answered when these two meet again.

The lightweight championship will also be up for grabs when champion Patricky Pitbull meets undefeated Usman Nurmagomedov. The champion is back to defend his belt after a year away. Nurmagomedov looks to continue his impressive, three in a row, first round stoppages. Ring rust could play a factor but if the champs fight camp holds up then we should be in for a great contest.
