Round 1

Hill (4-0, 0-0 Bellator) puts his unbeaten record on the line
against Fusi (8-6, 1-1 Bellator), who enters the match on a
two-fight losing streak and in search of his first win since May
2019. Bell once again serves as the referee. Hill shoots for an
immediate takedown and settles for the clinch. He connects with
some knees to the inside of Fusi’s leg, holds him along the fence
and secures double underhooks. Hill lowers his center of gravity,
delivers a takedown and seeks to consolidate those efforts with
positional control. Fusi builds his base and gets back to his feet,
only to be returned to the mat. Hill postures inside the Italian’s
open guard and chips away with punches to the body. Fusi again
returns to his feet but fails to create the space necessary to get
himself of the cage. Hill blends some knees to the legs with foot
stomps, fires hooks to the body and resets in open space before
shooting in and securing another takedown. Fuci maneuvers his way
to a brief guillotine attempt, then releases his hands when the
choke fails to materialize. 10-9 Hill

Round 2

Hill crowds his counterpart with kicks, retreats under duress and
lures Fusi back into the clinch. He peppers him with short-range
knees and punches, along the fence, before connecting with a knee
south of the equator. Bell pauses the action to give Fusi time to
recover. They get back to business after a brief respite, as Hill
snatches a single-leg, sheds a weak attempt at a guillotine and
passes to side control behind standing-to-ground-punches in the
center of the cage. The situation seems to be deteriorating for
Fuci. The SBG Ireland rep reclaims half guard but continues to eat
damage, courtesy of shoulder strikes and elbows from Hill. The Brit
works his way to Fuci’s back, transitions to side control and
climbs to full mount with a little more than a minute remaining in
the round. Fuci turns away from contact and gets to a crouched
position, but Hill is relentless. He moves on top and unleashes
punches and elbows. 10-9 Hill

Round 3

Fusi needs a stoppage as the third round arrives. Hill pumps out a
one-two, followed by a leg kick and backs the Italian to the fence
before moving back to the center of the cage. A left hook to the
body forces a fading Fusi backward for a moment. The John Kavanaugh
protégé shows no signs of upping his output as time continues to
tick away. Hill paws with a jab and looks increasingly comfortable
on the feet. He cuts off an advance with a takedown, pushes Fusi to
the mat and hammers away with ground-and-pound. The writing seems
to be on the wall in this one. Blood now streaming from his face,
Fusi eats repeated short left hands and knees to the legs. Hill
moves to the back with one hook in and begins to snake his left arm
around the neck for a potential choke. Fusi dodges the submission,
but Hill cracks him with lefts, carries him to the center of the
cage and deposits him to the mat. Hill continues to hunt the
submission, then settles for more ground-and-pound as the horn
sounds. 10-9 Hill (30-27 Hill)

The Official Result

Steven Hill def. Andrea Fusi—Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-27,
30-26)

Round 1

Solli (3-1, 2-1 Bellator) carries the SBG Ireland flag ahead of his
pairing with the 6-foot-4 Camara (5-1, 1-0 Bellator). Referee Bryan
Miner presides over the encounter. Solli fires off a leg kick,
follows with a burst of punches and closes the distance before
clinching along the fence. Solli drags the Frenchman to the canvas,
sets up shop in full guard and hunts for openings. The Italian
progresses to half guard and delivers elbows to the head but allows
Camara to escape to his feet. He slips behind Solli following a
failed head-and-arm through and seizes control for the first time.
Camara mixes in short punches, then cuts loose with left hands,
utilizing his long arms. Solli mostly stays out of danger and
initiates a scramble, as the two men grind to a halt on the cage.
10-9 Solli

Round 2

The hyperaggressive Solli once again punches into clinch range but
falls to his back on an ill-conceived takedown attempt. Camara
slips out of an attempted armbar, scores with hammerfists and
applies pressure from top position. Not much unfolds, as the action
slows to a crawl. Miner warns Solli more than once about hooking
his toes in the cage. Camara drops a few short elbows while
defending another armbar, pancakes downward and stalls. Solli locks
up an armbar just as the horn sounds, perhaps saving Camara from
real danger. 10-9 Camara

Round 3

Solli presses into clinch range but fails to corral Camara and
winds up in open space. He connects with an accidental kick to the
groin that results in a brief pause. They trade kicks to the body
upon the restart, and Camara cuts off an attempted takedown while
pushing Solli into the cage. They jockey for position along the
fence, with neither man gaining a discernible advantage. Halfway
through the round, the outcome remains in doubt. Camara uses his
height and leverage to keep the SBG Ireland rep bottled up in close
quarters. Miner restarts them with 90 seconds to go. Solli clips
the Frenchman with a right hook, sprawls on a takedown and works
his way to the back. He sinks the rear-naked choke, but his failure
to secure position with his hooks allows Camara to escape. With 30
seconds remaining, they are back on their feet. Camara returns to
the action to the clinch, as the remaining time bleeds off the
clock. 10-9 Solli (29-28 Solli)

The Official Result

Nicolo Solli def. Bourama Camara—Split Decision (29-28, 28-29,
29-28)

Round 1

Biyong (8-2, 1-1 Bellator) attempts to gain some traction in the
light heavyweight division against Zubco (3-1, 0-0 Bellator), who
climbs into the cage on the heels of back-to-back victories. Valel
oversees the action. Biyong casts quite a shadow as an intimidating
physical presence. Zubco keeps him at bay with leg kicks and
one-twos. He backs Biyong to the fence with punches but concedes a
takedown via the inside trip. The Cameroon native works from half
guard but cannot hold down his opponent. Zubco gets back to his
feet but struggles to free himself in the clinch. Biyong bullies
the Moldovan back to the canvas and again sets up in half guard. He
chips away at the body with punches while mixing in the occasional
elbow to the head. He climbs to full mount in an unfortunate
development for Zubco. Some punches and short elbows follow, the
situation growing increasing dire for Zubco. With 10 seconds left,
Biyong postures and cuts loose. A finish fails to materialize, but
the message has undoubtedly been set. 10-9 Biyong

Round 2

Zubco needs to get busy in the standup to avoid a repeat of what
happened in Round 1. Instead, he looks gun-shy. Biyong ducks under
a right hand, closes the distance and forces his opponent’s back to
the cage. He then muscles Zubco back to the canvas and progresses
immediately to mount. Trouble beckons for the Moldovan. Biyong
postures and punches with three minutes still left in the round.

He takes his time, piling up damage and control time. Zubco
eventually breaks beneath a volley of punches and
hammerfists.

The Official Result

Simon Biyong def. Dragos Zubco—TKO (Punches) 3:36 R2

Round 1

Landu (17-9, 2-1 Bellator) zeroes in on Cogliandro (11-3-1, 0-0
Bellator) and aims to spoil the Italian’s organizational debut on
home soil. Valel draws the officiating assignment. Landu looks
eager right out of the gate, uncorking punching combinations and
heavy body kicks. Cogliandro may have some difficulty keeping up.
Landu catches a kick and fires a knee up the middle, only to be
countered by an attempted takedown. Cogliandro chases a guillotine,
surrenders a takedown and then scrambles into north-south position
by kicking off the cage. Landu turns into him but finds himself
ensnared in an anaconda choke. Cogliandro stays on the choke as the
two men move to an upright position. Landu escapes and clips his
opponent moving in, briefly stunning him. Light on his feet, Landu
switches stances seamlessly and lets fly with combinations as the
round concludes. 10-9 Landu

Round 2

Landu presses forward with punches and a flying knee, only to be
cut off in the clinch. He gathers Cogliandro’s hips, hoists him
skyward and dumps him on his back in the center of the cage. Landu
passes to side control. The Cyrille Diabate protégé zeroes in on
the left arm, anchors himself on his knees and fights for the
kimura. Cogliandro escapes and chases a leg lock but nothing
materializes. Landu moves back to side control and attacks the arm
with another kimura, using it to progress to full mount with two
minutes to go. Cogliandro bucks free and eventually escapes back to
his feet. Land backs him up with a left cross-right uppercut and
follows with multiple body kicks. He has a significant output
advantage in the standup exchanges. 10-9 Landu

Round 3

Cogliandro likely needs to alter the direction of the narrative—and
fast. Landu strikes at multiple levels with punches and kicks,
dives on another takedown and advances to side control. He moves to
a topside crucifix, forces Cogliandro to accept the position and
piles up points and damage with punches and elbows. Cogliandro
extricates himself briefly but winds up turtled, with Landu feeding
him punches from behind. The Frenchman jumps back into side
control, then climbs to mount. Cogliandro is once again in real
danger. Landu scores with ground-and-pound, forces his adversary to
surrender his back and secures position with a body triangle. He
stays one step ahead of Cogliandro at every turn and, with less
than a minute remaining, positions himself for another victory.
10-9 Landu (30-27 Landu)

The Official Result

Yves Landu def. Walter Cogliandro—Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-27,
30-27)

Round 1

An all-Italian battle between Penco (7-3, 3-1 Bellator) and
Marconetto (3-1, 0-0 Bellator) keeps the undercard moving in the
women’s strawweight division. Blake Grice serves as the referee.
Marconetto comes out swinging, only to be sat down by a right hand
from her opponent. Penco looks to counter, as Marconetto charges
in, head down, and fires her hands. Marconetto tries her luck in
the clinch, gets nowhere and moves back out into open space. Her
volume punching is giving Penco problems. Marconetto continues to
move forward behind active hands, and while she eats some return
fire, she finds her way into the clinch. Penco turns to knees up
the middle and enjoys some success with them. However, she seems to
be spending to much time backing up. 10-9 Marconetto

Round 2

Marconetto picks up where she left off as the more aggressive and
active fighter. Penco counters but only with one shot at a time.
Marconetto operates behind her jab, throws out one-twos and presses
forward. Again, not a good look for Penco, and meaningful
adjustments do not appear to be forthcoming. Marconetto mixes in
the occasional leg kicks but generally leans on one-twos before
resetting and getting back to business. Penco enjoys some success
with her jab, but the good moments appear to few and far between.
Marconetto maintains control of the center of the cage. 10-9
Marconetto

Round 3

Penco appears to need a finish entering Round 3. Jabs and leg kicks
flow out of Marconetto, whose confidence grows by the second. Penco
continues to work with single strikes, her back to the fence as she
circles on the outside. She doubles up on right hooks during a
dirty boxing exchange but does little to exploit the opening and
returns to an approach that does not serve her best interests.
Marconetto advances behind punches, taking two steps forward for
every one she gives back. Lacking the firepower necessary to turn
the tide in her favor, Penco seems to be fighting a losing battle
with a minute remaining in the fight. Marconetto connects with a
one-two, setting up a clean right cross with a jab. She snaps back
Penco’s head with several punches, forces her to stay on her back
foot and rides out the remaining time. 10-9 Marconetto (30-27
Marconetto)

Round 1

Gouti (16-5, 1-0 Bellator) tries to extend his current winning
streak to five fights in a three-round confrontation with Davis
(5-1-1 Bellator), who seeks his first victory in more than two
years. The 35-year-old Gouti has never lost in 15 appearances
outside of the UFC. Grice will handle the officiating duties. Davis
counters his opponent’s aggression with accurate counterpunches and
kicks. The Frenchman throws in a leg kick or two to keep him
off-balance. Davis stays composed. He sticks Gouti repeated jabs,
opening a cut on the bridge of the nose. Gouti continues to apply
pressure, as Davis delivers hooks to the body from both hands. An
accidental eye poke results in a brief pause in the action. Davis
ups his aggression on the restart but cannot keep the UFC veteran
at bay. Davis appears to be timing the rushes better, utilizing
hooks to the head and body kicks. Momentum has shifted. 10-9
Davis

Round 2

Davis backpedals in the face of continuous pressure and slams a
kick into the Frenchman’s ribcage. A kick from the London
Shootfighters standout appears to damage Gouti’s lead arm, changing
the tenor of the match almost immediately. Gouti gives ground for
the first time. He has not thrown a right hand since being struck
by the kick. Davis picks his spots, generates some power with a
right uppercut and answers Gouti’s forward movement hooks. Gouti’s
punching output has dwindled noticeably, for obvious reasons. Davis
circles on the perimeter and scores with punches and kicks with
roughly a minute left in the round. Gouti continues to apply
pressure, even without one of his primary weapons. 10-9 Davis

Round 3

Gouti is nothing if not game. Davis pops him with jabs and
occasionally targets the arm with kicks, even as the Frenchman
throws punches with it. Davis sneaks in a few left hands, often
pairing them with kicks to the opposite side of the body. Gouti is
going to have trouble sleeping tonight. Davis gives ground as the
UFC veteran presses forward but continues to score off the back
foot. Gouti stays true to his approach, but forward movement only
goes so far. He has no real answer for the multi-pronged striking
attack Davis is throwing at him. Jabs, hooks and crosses all land,
along with intermittent one-twos. Gouti absorbs more kicks to the
arm but shows no signs of relenting in an admirable effort. 10-9
Davis (30-27 Davis)

Alfie Davis def. Thibault Gouti—Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27,

Round 1

Van Steenis (13-2, 5-1 Bellator) welcomes Oniszczuk (9-1, 0-0
Bellator) to the cage and looks to build some additional momentum
at the expense of the promotional newcomer. Bryan Miner presides
over the festivities. Van Steenis targets the lower leg with kicks,
nearly knocking him off his feet. Oniszczuk uncorks a punching
volley and a body kick. Van Steenis catches the leg, pushes the
Pole backward into the fence and goes to work in the clinch. He
shows no signs of rust after a two-year layoff. Oniszczuk cuts off
an attempted takedown with sublime balance but remains trapped in
the clinch. Van Steenis feeds him a few knees before scoring with a
trip takedown. He jumps to the back while Oniszczuk builds his base
and returns to his feet. Van Steenis connects with a partially
blocked head kick off the break. Oniszczuk drives in the Dutchman’s
hips in a bid to answer a takedown, but those efforts come up
short. 10-9 van Steenis

Round 2

Oniszczuk carries a huge hematoma on his lead shin into the second
round, courtesy of his opponent’s low kicks. Van Steenis goes back
to the kicks, further compromising his counterpart’s base.
Oniszczuk now lacks zip on his kicks and punches, perhaps a
byproduct of the van Steenis kicks.
Van Steenis steps into an overhead right, then unleashes an
exquisite multi-strike volley he punctuated with a kick. Oniszczuk
dives on the legs out of desperation, wanders into a brabo choke
and finds no avenues of escape. The Ankos MMA product has no choice
but to tap.

Round 1

Gallon (21-7-2, 3-0 Bellator), who has not tasted defeat since
March 2018, puts his five-fight winning streak on the line against
Scatizzi (3-2 Bellator). Jacob Montalvo draws the officiating
assignment. Scatizzi unleashed punches in bunches, follows with a
leg kick and secures a takedown inside the first minute. Gallon
escapes back to his feet. Scatizzi slips in the clinch and winds up
pinned underneath Gallon but manages to get back to an upright
position in short order. He moves to the rear waistlock position,
as the action stalls in the clinch—not all that unexpected in a
showdown between two judo players. Scatizzi stays one step ahead at
close range with time ticking off the clock. The SBG Ireland surges
later, firing off punches from both hands as the horn sounds. 10-9
Scatizzi

Round 2

Scatizzi sets the tone with a front kick to the body. Gallon closes
the distance and bullies his way into the clinch, where they jockey
for position. The two men take turns with their back to the fence,
trading foot stomps. Gallon connects with a short elbow off the
break, as they drift into open space. The Adrenaline Fight Team
product steps into an overhand right, gives ground in the face of
return fire and circles out of danger. Gallon sprawls on a takedown
and threatens the neck before securing a takedown from the clinch.
He progresses immediately to the back and secures position with a
body triangle. Scatizzi breaks free from the body triangle and
locks up a guillotine from the bottom. Gallon scrambles to his back
to alleviate the pressure but winds up in a disadvantageous
position. They close the round with a standup exchange, neither man
gaining a decided edge. 10-9 Gallon

Round 3

Neither man should be comfortable entering Round 3. Scatizzi swoops
in on the legs but fails in his bid for a takedown. Another clinch
ensues. Not much happens as they once again fight for dominance at
close range. With two minutes remaining, it appears to be up for
grabs. Gallon scores with heel strikes to the back of the leg,
while Scatizzi answers with foot stomps. Gallon delivers a takedown
and lands in side control with 35 seconds on the clock, then moves
to the back as Scatizzi stands. They clinch again before closing
with a flurry—a fitting end to a highly competitive fight. 10-9
Gallon (29-28 Gallon)

Round 1

Having climbed into Bellator’s Top 10 at 145 pounds, Gonzales
(13-1, 2-1 Bellator) attempts to move another step closer to
contention in his battle with Fisher (19-8-1, 2-2 Bellator). The
37-year-old Fisher has not lost since Oct. 1, 2016. Referee Jerin
Valel will adjudicate matters inside the cage. Gonzales, who once
wrestled alongside Justin Gaethje at the University of Northern
Colorado, fires jabs to the body and head, working in an overhand
right and a front kick. Fisher uncorks an occasional right hand,
but eats a few leg kicks in response. A tepid affair thus far.
Gonzales ducks under a right hand and executes a high-amplitude
takedown. Fisher gets back to his feet but struggles to detach.
Eventually, the two men separate. Gonzales keeps the Englishman at
bay with a jab and uses his speed to his advantage, dodging the
shots being thrown back in his direction. 10-9 Gonzales

Round 2

Gonzales hammers away with leg kicks, throws a beautiful body-head
combination and sets the tone right out of the gate. Fisher looks
like a man out of his depth. Gonzales seems to land everything he
throws—jabs, low kicks and hooks to the body and head. Speed,
variety and power all to appear to be in the American’s favor, not
to mention the significant advantage he holds in the wrestling
department. A hematoma has begun to develop around Fisher’s left
eye. 10-9 Gonzales

Round 3

Fisher needs a miracle, as he seeks to avoid his first setback in
more than six years. Gonzales cracks him with a one-two and follows
with a right hook to the body, the former Legacy Fighting Alliance
champion tightening his grip on the match. Fisher continues to
absorb shots to the body and head, as the gap between the two men
widens with roughly half a round remaining. Gonzales doubles up on
his jab, fires the right hand behind them and forces the Englishman
into a defensive shell on the feet. In terms of moral victories,
Fisher has bloodied his opponent’s nose with jabs of his own.
Gonzales wipes away the blood every so often, then resumes his
assault on the head, midsection and legs. He pins Fisher on the
fence with punches, forces him to dive on a takedown and leaves him
in a kneeling position as the round ends. With a little more time
at his disposal, Gonzales likely would have finished it. 10-9
Gonzales (30-27 Gonzales)

Round 1

Rogers (15-4, 3-2 Bellator), in his first appearance since
outpointing Georgi Karakhanyan at Bellator 266, more than a year
ago, undoubtedly has designs on using Wilde (14-4-1, 2-1-1
Bellator) as a steppingstone at 155 pounds. Referee Bryan Miner
steps in as the arbiter. Rogers backs up his countryman up with a
jab, then eats a right hand for his troubles. Wilde lands a leg
kick, then a front kick to the body before circling on the outside.
Rogers swoops in on the hips, works on a takedown and drags it to
the ground. Wilde scrambles back to his feet, drifts into a
guillotine choke and eventually surrenders his back. Rogers scores
with his ground-and-pound, transitions to half guard and passes to
side control. Wilde opens a cut above Rogers’ right eye with an
elbow strike from the bottom. Rogers nearly finishes a Peruvian
necktie, resets himself and goes for the rarely executed maneuver a
second time before the two men scramble back to their feet. Wilde
denies a late takedown attempt. 10-9 Rogers

Round 2

Wilde connects with a kick to the chest, nearly clipping Rogers’
chin with his knee. Rogers completes another takedown but fails to
control Wilde, who forces him to engage him in the standup. Wilde
scores effectively on the feet and throws an ill-advised spinning
attack but lands in top position on the ensuing scramble. This was
not where Rogers expected to be at any point in the fight. Wilde
bides his time and applies his ground-and-pound in full guard.
Rogers get back to his feet after scrambling out from the bottom
and threatening with a single-leg takedown. The lightweights, now
upright, return to the center of the cage to throw hands. Wilde
follows a head kick with a clean two-punch combination and appears
to have seized control of the bout. Rogers needs to recalibrate
between rounds. 10-9 Wilde

Round 3

Wilde opens the round with a right uppercut and circles on the
outside, clearly cognizant of the takedown threat. Rogers dives in,
only to be denied. Wilde switches stances, strings together
multiple punches and connects with a left uppercut. Wilde turns
away another attempted takedown. These developments have to be a
drain on Rogers’ confidence. Wilde taps Rogers with a front kick,
takes aim at the lead leg and exits without eating any shots in
return. Rogers looks flat-footed and fatigued. Nevertheless, he
catches a leg and dumps Wilde to the canvas with 90 seconds on the
clock. Rogers makes another pass at a Peruvian necktie, releases
the choke and scrambles to the back, securing his position with
hooks. Wilde scrambles free, builds his base and gets back to his
feet. Whatever reserves Rogers had in the tank appear to have been
emptied. 10-9 Wilde (29-28 Wilde)

Round 1

The co-main event sees Edwards (10-2, 6-2 Bellator)—the younger
brother of reigning UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards—tangle
with SBG Ireland’s Ward (10-4, 7-1 Bellator), who turns 42 in
December. Blake Grice takes the reins as referee. Edwards tests the
waters with front kick and takes the center of the cage. An
extended feeling-out process gives way to a few body kicks from
Edwards. Ward answers with an inside leg kick, but caution is the
word of the moment for both men. Edwards cracks him with a head
kick and sets him on rubbery legs but loses his footing during his
follow-up attack. Ward takes top position with a little more than
90 seconds left in the round. Ward passes to half guard but allows
Edwards to get back to his feet. The Irishman connects with a few
clubbing right hands and stays out of danger. 10-9 Edwards

Round 2

Edwards moves into range immediately, perhaps sensing that Ward is
still compromised. He shoots in on a takedown and climbs toward
mount. He floats onto the back during the subsequent scramble and
returns Ward to the mat. He sets his hooks but loses position while
hunting the choke. A knee to the groin from Ward prompts a pause in
the action. Edwards lands to kicks to the leg, one inside and one
outside, then secures a takedown. Ward works back to his feet, only
to be taken down again. Edwards drops elbows on his heavily
tattooed counterpart and climbs to the back, applying hip pressure.
Ward refuses to be flattened out, but Edwards powers into mount and
cut loose with elbows before threatening with an arm-triangle.
Edwards loses his footing while exchanging punches but avoids any
issues on the ground. 10-9 Edwards

Round 3

Ward looks weary at the start of Round 3 but pecks away with his
jab. Edwards follows a head kick with a straight left, executes a
takedown and moves to full mount. Ward gives up his back. Edwards
flattens out the Irishman, secures his position with a body
triangle, scores with punches and starts to zero in on the neck.
Ward denies his advances, but reality set in long ago. The two men
start exchanging profane pleasantries on the mat, as the action
stalls. 10-9 Edwards (30-27 Edwards)

Round 1

Barnaoui (19-4, 0-0 Bellator) returns to the MMA stage for the
first time in 1,260 days and makes his long-overdue organizational
debut in an intriguing headliner against Piccolotti (13-4, 9-4
Bellator). Jacob Montalvo handles the officiating duties.
Piccolotti strikes for an immediate takedown. Barnaoui sweeps into
top position, frees himself from an omoplata and pounds away with
jackhammer left hands. He advances toward the back with Piccolotti
in a crouched position and drives a few right hands into his face.
Barnaoui locks in body triangle and increases the intensity of his
ground-and-pound. From there, he threatens the neck with his arms
and contorts the body in a painful position with his legs.
Piccolotti survives, but the round did not go as he had hoped. 10-9
Barnaoui

Round 2

Piccolotti bites down a guillotine and powers into top position
inside the first 30 seconds. In an instant, Barnaoui swings onto
the Californian’s back. The guy is a wizard on the ground. Barnaoui
locks in the body triangle once again, softens his opponent with
punches to chants of “Mansour” from the Italian crowd and fishes
for the choke.
Piccolotti defends initially, but Barnaoui transitions to a
palm-to-palm grip, tightens his squeeze and forces the
tap. Exceptional performance from Barnaoui, who
figures to move through the ranks quickly if he so desires.
