This past week, Bellator and the UFC were busy booking title fights for the summer months.
Bellator middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi (45-6-2 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) will put his 185-pound belt up for grabs against Rafael Lovato Jr. (9-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) in the main event of Bellator’s return to London on June 22.
UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) will take on bantamweight No. 1 contender Marlon Moraes (22-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC) for the vacant 135-pound title at UFC 238 on June 8 in Chicago. Cejudo will take a shot at becoming a two-division champion after T.J. Dillashaw vacated the bantamweight belt.
Jon Jones (24-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) will defend his light heavyweight title against Thiago “Marretta” Santos (21-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in the UFC 239 main event on July 6 in Las Vegas.
Co-headlining that card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is a women’s bantamweight title bout between champ Amanda Nunes (17-4 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and ex-titleholder Holly Holm (12-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC).
