Ahead of last night’s Bellator 243, which saw Michael Chandler KO former UFC lightweight champ Benson Henderson, the promotion announced a few fights to round out their next offering.
Bellator 244 is scheduled for August 21 at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Uncasville, CT. The headliner for that event, which had already been announced, is a light heavyweight title fight between champion Ryan Bader and challenger Vadim Nemkov.
The newly announced fights are Julia Budd vs. Jessy Miele and Roy Nelson vs. Valentin Moldavsky.
Budd had been Bellator’s featherweight champion since defeating Marloes Coenen at Bellator 174 in 2017.
