Bellator 245 pre-event facts: Can Lyoto Machida finally win a rematch?
Bellator kicks off a loaded dual-event weekend on Friday with Bellator 245, which takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. – also known as the “FightSphere” – and airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN.
A rematch between top light heavyweight contenders takes center stage in the main event. Former Bellator champion Phil Davis (21-5 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) looks to earn another victory over former UFC champ Lyoto Machida (26-9 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) after he won the initial meeting by split decision at UFC 163 in August 2013.
