In the Bellator 261 main event, top-ranked Bellator heavyweight Tim Johnson (15-6) fights third-ranked Valentin Moldavsky (10-1) for the interim heavyweight title. This bout will bring non-stop action as both men always put their all into a fight.
In the co-main event, Liz Carmouche looks to maintain her undefeated Bellator record (2-0) as she faces Kana Watanabe. Both fighters think this bout will lead to a title fight, something they both say they are ready for.
At lightweight, TUF 15 alum and UFC vet Myles Jury will look to earn his third win in a row against “Da Gun” Sidney Outlaw in a pivotal top-ten matchup. While Outlaw will likely look to take the fight to the ground, Jury is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt that is comfortable wherever the fight goes.
