4 burning questions heading into Bellator 244

Bellator’s “Fightsphere” opens for business once again at Mohegan Sun as the promotion showcases two of its biggest stars at Bellator 244.

The main event sees two-division champion Ryan Bader put his light heavyweight title on the line against Russia’s Vadim Nemkov, while former long-reigning women’s featherweight champion Julia Budd returns to action against Jessy Miele looking to bounce back after her loss to Cris Cyborg earlier this year.

Also set for action is undefeated welterweight contender Yaroslav Amosov, who has been tipped as one of Bellator’s stars of the future. He will look to position himself for a shot at the 170-pound title by claiming victory against Mark Lemminger.

Bellator 244 takes place Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main card airs on Paramount following prelims on MMA Junkie.
