Bellator partners with BAMMA for Dec. 15 event in U.K.

Bellator is partnering with longtime British promotion BAMMA for its next U.K. jaunt.

BAMMA today announced the card, which takes place Dec. 15 at Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England.

The event, which has yet to be named, is scheduled to feature appearances from Valerie Letourneau (8-6 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Michael McDonald (17-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), as MMAjunkie previously reported. Opponents for the former UFC standouts are to be announced.

The event is expected to air via tape-delay on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Letourneau, a onetime UFC women’s strawweight title challenger, is trying to revitalize her career as a flyweight. A struggle to make the 115-pound limit in the UFC led to her signing with Bellator in April.

McDonald, meanwhile, is hoping to get back on his feet after a public falling out with the UFC. He is 3-3 in his last six bouts and returned in 2016 from a three-year injury layoff.

Also set to fight on the card is “TUF Smashes” and BAMMA vet Colin Fletcher (14-8 MMA, 0-1 BMMA), Ryan Scope (9-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and reality show star Aaron “The Joker” Chalmers  (1-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

Check back with MMAjunkie for updates on the card as they become available.
