Background[]
The event will be headlined by a rematch in the final of the Bellator Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Tournament for the Bellator Light Heavyweight World Championship between the champion Vadim Nemkov and former title challenger Corey Anderson. The two met earlier in the year at Bellator 277 where the bout ended in a no contest due to an accidental clash of heads at the end of the third round.[1]
A Bellator Lightweight World Championship bout between the champion Patricky Pitbull and undefeated contender Usman Nurmagomedov will take place at the event.[2]
A featherweight bout between Daniel Weichel and Akhmed Magomedov was set for this event.[3] However, Magomedov pulled out due to unknown reason and was replaced by Timur Khizriev.[4]
