Izzy will get his rematch against Alex Pereira in his fight title defense, Gilbert Burns will fight Jorge Masvidal in a co-main, and Raul Rosas Jr. will return and fight a very difficult Christian Rodriguez.
My only concern is Izzy vs PoAtan 2. Why? What’s with this immediate rematches? It’s not like we don’t have other contenders for the title especially at 185.

Imo the champ could decide if he wanted to run thru the top 5 and match himself up against different styles, getting him some title defenses, and rejecting immediate rematch as his first title defense. It’s kinda his right as champ.
Besides it would make the eventual Stylebender vs PoAtan fight much more meaningful if PoAtan has KO’d all of the top 5 before the rematch.

My man Benny doesn’t have to do it considering he’s a contender already, but if he wins then Makhachev or Volkanovski can’t say no to this guy. He been working real hard for the shot.

According to the Bellator website, schedule is about 6 and a half hours from now. (7:00 AM on my side) Idc about the rest. We just wanna see Fedor fight for the last time.
