Bellator ran their second of two shows in the Blaisdell Center in Honolulu tonight, and the Hawaiian faithful showed up in droves to see their homegrown star, women’s flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane. She did not disappoint. The Hawaiian fighter that grew up minutes from where she was fighting pulled out a third-round submission victory over challenger Valerie Letourneau to defend her bout for the second time.
In other fights, Lyoto Machida made a successful Bellator debut, Nieman Gracie moved on in the welterweight grand prix, and King Mo got knocked out. Here’s a look at how it all went down.
