Bellator 210 is set to take place at Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Dec. 15, 2018, featuring a Paramount Network-televised main event between women’s Flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (8-0) against former UFC Strawweight contender Valerie Letourneau (10-6), who will be in search of her third straight win … and a shiny new belt.
An equally high profile and intriguing fight has also been booked for Honolulu as former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida (24-8) will face former Bellator Middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho (15-2), according to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani. Machida will also be looking for his third straight win in his debut for the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion.
Only one other fight has been announced for Bellator 210 at this point: Undefeated Welterweight Brazilian jiu-jitsu sensation Neiman Gracie (8-0) will do battle with another undefeated fighter who has quickly become a Bellator sensation in Ed Ruth (6-0).
