The Hype’s Q&A With “Bellator 266” Stars Neiman Gracie, Alejandra Lara, Mark Lemminger & “Mr. Wonderful” Phil Davis
Bellator is a leading global MMA and kickboxing promotion featuring many of the best athletes in the world. Under the direction of veteran fight promoter Scott Coker, Bellator events take place in major cities around the world and can be seen on television in over 160 countries to an available audience of over 1 billion people. In the States, Bellator events from all over the world can be seen on Showtime — a new TV deal announced earlier this year — and online via Pluto TV and Bellator’s YouTube channel.
Bellator’s next big event is Bellator 266, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 18, 2021, live from the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The event will be headlined by a Light Heavyweight fight between Yoel Romero and the #3-ranked “Mr. Wonderful” Phil Davis, with the winner likely to soon face the winner of Bellator’s Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix. The card also features a co-main event with #4-ranked welterweight Neiman Gracie squaring off with Mark Lemminger, and the #5-ranked women’s flyweight Alejandra Lara taking on San Jose’s DeAnna Bennet.

Below are my highlights from Q&A with Neiman Gracie, Alejandra Lara, Mark Lemminger and “Mr. Wonderful” Phil Davis.
