Bellator 294 pre-event facts: Sara McMann brings UFC takedown record to debut

Bellator returns to Hawaii on Friday with two events in two nights, both of which take place at Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu and air on Showtime following prelims streaming on MMA Junkie.

Bellator 294 marks the first half of the doubleheader, and the event is headlined by a women’s flyweight championship bout. Reigning titleholder Liz Carmouche (18-7 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) will attempt to make her second defense in a rematch with DeAnna Bennett (13-7-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA), who she beat by third-round submission at Bellator 246 in September 2020.
