- Bellator is working on pairing middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi against welterweight champion Rory MacDonald. The bout, first reported by ESPN, would be added to a late September event.
Mousasi won his belt with a victory vs. Rafael Carvalho, while MacDonald claimed his when he defeated Douglas Lima earlier this year. Both have been hinting at a possible match, which would be the first-time Bellator has pitted a champion against another champion.
The card is likely to also feature Wanderlei Silva vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, which is expected to be announced in the coming day.
