Bellator put on another one of its tentpole events on Saturday with Bellator 220, which took place at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., with a main card on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie. There were two championship fights on the card, and each produced a very different result. In the main event, Rory MacDonald (20-5-1 MMA, 2-1-1 BMMA) held on to his welterweight title, but only because his matchup with Jon Fitch (32-7-2 MMA, 1-0-1 BMMA) was deemed a draw . And in the co-headliner, one of the worst cuts in recent memory gave Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (10-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) a women’s flyweight title defense over Veta Arteaga (5-3 MMA, 4-3 BMMA).
