Bellator MMA hosted a fight card from Pechanga Casino in Temecula, CA on Friday night.
The main event was a heavyweight scrap between Brazil’s Marcelo Golm and Daniel Jones, both hoping to use a main event slot to propel them closer to title contention. The co-main was a fight, fit for a title when MMA legend Cat Zingano took on Leah McCourt for what could quite possibly be the next contender for Cris Cyborg’s title.
