Bellator Champions Series 5: McCourt vs. Collins (also known as Bellator Champions Series London) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by Bellator MMA that will take place on September 14, 2024, at OVO Arena Wembley in London, England.[1][2][3]
Background
The event will mark the promotion's eighth visit to London and first since Bellator 281 in May 2022.[4]
A Bellator Middleweight World Championship rematch between current champion Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards was expected to headline the event.[5] The pairing previously met at Bellator 299 in September 2023, which Eblen won by third-round knockout.[6] However on September 3, the bout was rescheduled for a later date with a women's featherweight bout between Leah McCourt and Sara Collins serving as the new main event.[7]
A women's featherweight bout between Eman Almudhaf and Daiane Silva was removed from the event at the weigh-ins for unknown reasons.[8]
