Bellator champ Ilima-Lei Macfarlane meets Veta Arteaga in San Jose co-main event



Bellator women’s flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane will seek the third successful defense of her title when she meets Veta Arteaga.

MMAjunkie tonight learned from two people with knowledge of the booking that the title fight will serve as the co-main event of Bellator’s April 27 event at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. Those people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the promotion has yet to officially announce the fight.

Macfarlane (9-0 MMA, 8-0 BMMA) is currently ranked No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA women’s flyweight rankings. The 28-year-old Hawaiian is undefeated in her professional career and is the only women’s flyweight champion in Bellator history. “The Iliminator” captured the belt with a submission win over Emily Ducote in November 2017 and has since defended it twice, with submission wins over Alejandra Lara and Valerie Letourneau.

Nothing against Arteaga, but it should be Velazquez challenging for the title.
Cain Velasquez ? I thought he was a heavyweight male tbh i doubt he makes it to the fight tho if he does i got this Ilma Lei by TKO (Injury)

Cain is too busy "Brown Pride'ing and getting hurt. He ain't about that life...
