The fifth Bellator Champions Series event goes down on Saturday, and MMA News has you covered with all the action.
After taking the newly created Bellator Champions Series to Belfast, Paris, Dublin, and San Diego thus far since acquiring its rival promotion late last year, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) has brought the brand back to English soil for the first time in 2024.
And headlining inside the OVO Arena Wembley in London on September 14 is nine-fight Bellator veteran Leah McCourt. After the cancellation of a championship rematch between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards, her clash with Australia’s Sara Collins has been promoted to main event status.
