Arlene Blencowe faces Leslie Smith this Friday at Bellator 233. While they are not the main event, there are certainly future-headlining opportunities for the winner. Blencowe is on a two-fight win streak and she is aware of a chance at redemption and becoming champion if she manages to get past Smith.
Her only losses in Bellator are two to Julia Budd, and one to Marloes Coenen. She is certainly a force to be familiar with in Bellator’s women’s featherweight division and a win over someone like Smith would certainly put her in a conversation.
