Two title fights will anchor Bellator MMA’s final show of 2022, as Raufeon Stots defends his interim bantamweight championship against Danny Sabatello in the Bellator 289 headliner and Liz Carmouche puts her women’s flyweight crown on the line against Juliana Velasquez on the co-main event on Friday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. In addition, the Stots-Sabatello serves as a semifinal in the Bellator bantamweight grand prix.
Bellator 289 “Stots vs. Sabatello”—which airs live on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT—also features the other bantamweight grand prix semifinal pitting Magomed Magomedov against Patrick Mix and a middleweight showcase pairing Dalton Rosta with Anthony Adams.
