Ilima-Lei MacFarlane vs. Kate Jackson, AJ McKee vs. Derek Campos headline Bellator’s return to Hawaii

Bellator will return to Hawaii on Dec. 21 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena with flyweight champion Ilima-Lei MacFarlane set to defend her title in the main event.

MacFarlane will face off with former “Ultimate Fighter” competitor Kate Jackson in the headline fight with a quarterfinal fight in the Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix between A.J. McKee and Derek Campos will serve as the co-main event.

Bellator officials confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Thursday following an initial report from KHON in Hawaii.

A native of Hawaii, MacFarlane headlined Bellator 213 in her home state last year in an emotional victory for the 29-year-old champion.
