Bellator will have both a cage and a ring at their Sept. 19 combined show with Glory kickboxing in San Jose. So they’ve decided to maximize use of both.
The company announced Friday that some MMA and kickboxing bouts on the undercard of a 20-fight event will take place simultaneously.
Three MMA fights are scheduled for this portion of the card: featherweights Victor Jones (0-0) and David Blanco (1-0) a women’s flyweight bout between Gloria Telles and Alysia Cortez, and a middleweight bout between Brandon Hester (1-0) and DeMarco Villalona (1-0). On the kickboxing side, there will be a Glory lightweight bout between Jose Palacios (7-7) and TJ. Arcengal (4-1);
Jones-Blanco and Hester-Villalona will be conducted in the Bellator cage, while the Glory fight and Telles-Cortez, which is an amateur bout, will take place in the ring.
The card, headlined by Liam McGeary defending his Bellator light heavyweight title against Tito Ortiz, also features a one-night, four-man light heavyweight tournament, and a Glory title fight.
