Bellator featherweight grand prix bouts set with Daniel Weichel vs. Emmanuel Sanchez, A.J. McKee vs. Darrion Caldwell

After the coronavirus pandemic scrapped their Bellator featherweight grand prix quarterfinal, Daniel Weichel vs. Emmanuel Sanchez has been rebooked.

Bellator on Thursday announced Weichel vs. Sanchez will co-headline Bellator 252, which is headlined by another featherweight grand prix final featuring two-division champ Patricio “Pitbull” Freire versus Pedro Carvalho.

Additionally, a semifinal fight between A.J. McKee and Darrion Caldwell is set to headline Bellator 253, which like Bellator 252 takes place Nov. 19 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and airs on CBS Sports Network.

Weichel and Sanchez were set to clash at Bellator 241 on March 13, but the event was canceled due to the pandemic.
