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 last year — and online via Pluto TV and Bellator’s YouTube channel.
Bellator 279 is an upcoming event scheduled to take place on April 23, 2022, at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. Headlined by the highly-anticipated rematch of Cris Cyborg and Arlene Blencowe, the card also features 2 World Grand Prix Quarterfinals matches as Juan Archuleta will battle Raufeon Stots and Patchy Mix takes on Kyoji Horiguchi. Another buzzed-about match is booked between “Fearless” Lance Gibson Jr. — who is currently undefeated — and Nainoa Dung.
