Bellator San Diego Loses Co-Main Event
BELLATOR MMA/LUCAS NOONAN
The upcoming Bellator San Diego event, which is set to go down inside Pechanga Arena in San Diego, Calif., on Sept, 7, 2024, has taken a couple of hits. Per a post on X, the promotion announced that the co-main event featuring former interim bantamweight champion, Raufeon Stots, and Marcos Breno has been removed from the event.
As a result, the new co-headlining act will feature welterweight standouts Lorenz Larkin and Levan Chokheli doing battle, while a women’s flyweight fight between Mackenzie Stiller and Sumiko Inaba has been promoted to the main card. A middleweight fight between Grant Neal and Khalid Murtazaliev, has also been yanked from the card.
No reason for the removal of the fights was given, but Stots revealed on X that the fight has been rescheduled for a later date.
