Bellator 271‘s headline bout for the Bellator
MMA women’s featherweight championship is now official.
Both women had no issue making weight with Justino (24-2) weighing
145 pounds exactly, and Kavanagh (7-4) coming in at the same
weight. However, a prelim bout between Shane
O’Shea vs. Jordan
Newman has been canceled after O’Shea didn’t weigh in for an
undisclosed reason, and Pam
Sorenson came in .8 pounds overweight for her featherweight
bout against Arlene
Blencowe.
Justino comes into the bout undefeated inside the Bellator cage.
“Cyborg” most recently defeated Leslie
Smith in a dominant performance and submitted Arlene
Blencowe after finishing Julia Budd to
win the belt. Meanwhile, Kavanagh has strung together two wins
against Katharina
Lehner and Olga Rubin
after going 1-4 in her previous five fights.
Bellator 271’s main card will air live on Showtime starting at 10
p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. The prelims begin three hours prior on YouTube
at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
