UFC and Bellator will share the MMA stage this weekend with big fights and titles on the line.
Bellator kicks things off with the women's flyweight title on the line between Juliana Velasquez and Liz Carmouche. Velasquez is undefeated in 12 MMA fights thus far, while Carmouche fights for an MMA title for a third time after previously losing to Ronda Rousey (bantamweight, 2013) and Valentina Shevchenko (flyweight, 2019) in the UFC.
The UFC will spotlight Amanda Lemos and her rise to title contention on Saturday night when she faces Jessica Andrade, who will move down from flyweight to strawweight, where she won her first title nearly three years ago.
Meanwhile, Bellator finishes the evening with a rematch between Cris Cyborg and Arlene Blencowe, with Cyborg's featherweight title at stake. Cyborg is 4-0 with three successful title defenses after winning the championship in her first fight with the promotion.
