Check out the results and highlights from the Bellator 236 main card, where Ilima-Lei Macfarlane took a unanimous decision over Kate Jackson to retain her flyweight title.
The second part of Bellator’s double header wrapped up this past Saturday at Bellator 236 from the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The card’s featured bout saw the promotion’s flyweight queen, Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, take a unanimous decision of the challenger, Kate Jackson, to keep her crown. Before that, AJ McKee submitted Derek Campos in the third round, keeping his hopes of a featherweight GP million dollar payday still alive. Also on the main card, Jason Jackson took a unanimous decision over longtime MMA vet Kiichi Kunimoto, and Juliana Velasquez earned the nod over Bruna Ellen. Plus, Raufeon Stots took the scorecards against Cheyden Leialoha, and Zach Zane took them against Nainoa Dung.
