NEW YORK – Bellator returns to the famed Madison Square Garden in June, and today the headliners got together in New York.
In the Bellator 222 main event, former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida (25-8 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) takes on three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen (30-16-1 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) in a fight at 205 pounds. Machida will be moving up from the middleweight division he fought at in his promotional debut this past December, and Sonnen will be moving down after getting bounced from the semifinals of the heavyweight grand prix tournament.
Also set for Bellator 222 is New Yorker Dillon Danis (1-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA), who takes on Max Humphrey (3-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in a welterweight bout.
