Chris Honeycutt vs. Leo Leite is next in a middleweight bout.

Opening the main card on Paramount Network is Ernest James vs. Valentin Moldavsky in a heavyweight bout. In round 1, they had a feeling out process early then clinched with James blinking with his left eye. No word on if he got poked. James worked him over with knee strikes as Moldavsky worked for the takedown. They separated with two minutes to go. James shot in for a takedown but Moldavsky clinched with him up against the fence. Moldavsky stunned him with a combo with seconds left in the round and James went for the lackluster takedown while Moldavsky fired away with strikes to end the round.  In round 2, Moldavsky came out on fire and landed some good shots that have cut up James, who has his left eye swollen badly. James clinched up with him as his nose bled like no other. Moldavsky started to land some big shots then backed up James up against the fence and finished him with strikes to end the fight.

The headline fight for Bellator 189 will be the women’s featherweight title fight where current featherweight champion, Julia Budd, will be faced with the challenge that contender, Arlene Blencowe, will throw at her.

Apart from Cris Cyborg who fights in the UFC, these two women who will headline Bellator 189 are widely renowned as two of the best fighters in the weight division. The pair have come up against each other, and this can be thought of almost as a rematch. Their last encounter ended with Julia Budd clinching the victory in a closely competed fight that ended in a difficult to make unanimous decision after three rounds. Julia Budd will either put the doubters to rest with a second victory against Blencowe, or Blencowe will show what she is made of.

In terms of recent form, Julia Budd is really soaring high and is on a 8 – fight winning streak. This has also included defeating the likes of strong competitors such as Charmaine Tweet and Gabby Holloway who are both amongst the top ten rankings in the featherweight division.

Budd is now 34 years old and won the title in March after she took out MarloesCoenen. Blencowe gets her chance to dethrone Budd. Currently sitting ranked third in the division, the Australian is in pretty good form herself with four wins out of her last fight, and the sole defeat coming against Budd herself which was quite a close call and a well – matched contest. Blencowe even picked up dominant first round victories against the likes of Janay Harding and Rhiannon Thompson.

In terms of prediction – we are going to have to side with Julia Budd here, but not by much. The more experienced fighter has what it takes to come out on top, again.
