Ordinarily, Sunday is a night off for the sport as the fighters recuperate and rest up to heal from an aggressive week in training camp and the fans get ready for a new week at work beginning the next morning.

Between Friday night and Sunday afternoon, absent of any postponements throughout fight week, a total of eight championships will be awarded across three promotions. California's A1 Combat is giving out half of these available belts this Saturday night.
Bellator returns to their Midwest home tomorrow night for Bellator 301 at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The night will be capped off with two world title fights, but first, the card needs to be made official and that all starts with the weigh-ins.
“Super” Sage Northcutt shocked everyone in his return to action in May with a first-round submission over Ahmed Mujtaba.
