Bellator MMA returns for its first event since being purchased by the Professional Fighters League.
The Bellator 302 main event will see Corey Anderson take on Karl Moore for the vacant light heavyweight championship. Both men weighed 204.6 pounds for the title fight. Additionally, featherweight king Patricio Freire will put his belt on the line against Jeremy Kennedy in the co-main event after both weighed 145 pounds on the dot. Only one fighter missed weight as Vikas Singh Ruhil came in one pound over the featherweight limit for his prelim fight against Nathan Kelly.
“Overtime” is looking to claim his first title after coming up short in 2022 against Vadim Nemkov. Since then, Anderson (17-6, 1 NC) has picked up a split decision win over Phil Davis. Looking to derail Anderson’s attempt at glory is Ireland’s Moore (12-2), who is riding a four-fight win streak inside the promotion. While three wins have been via decision, the Belfast native also holds a face crank submission win over Karl Albrektsson.
