The long-awaited fight between Raufeon Stots and Danny Sabatello will occur this Friday, Dec. 9, at Bellator 289, and MMA News has the official weight-in results.
The rivalry between Stots and Sabatello has been ongoing since this Summer. Both fighters are in the Bellator Bantamweight Grand Prix to determine the undisputed bantamweight champion. However, Stots is going into his fight with Sabatello as the Interim Bellator Bantamweight Champion in the semi-finals.
Bellator wanted Stots to fight Sergio Pettis for the undisputed bantamweight title in the first round. However, Pettis suffered an injury, and the company had to create an interim championship. Stots would fight Juan Archuleta, who he defeated by knockout to become the interim champion at Bellator 279 on April 23.

Sabatello earned his opportunity to fight Stots by defeating Leandro Higo by unanimous decision at Bellator 282 on June 24.
After the win, Stots entered the Bellator cage to disparage Sabatello’s performance against Higo and vowed to beat him. Since their face-off at Bellator 282, they’ve verbally gone back and forth about how they will walk out of this Friday’s event as champion.
The Other Featured Fights on the Card
The co-main event will feature a Bellator Women’s Flyweight Championship rematch between Liz Carmouche and Juliana Velasquez.
In their first fight, Carmouche defeated Velasquez by TKO to win the title at Bellator 278 on April 22. Velasquez hopes to avenge the only loss of her career and reclaim the Bellator Women’s Flyweight Championship. However, she will have a challenging task against Carmouche, who is unbeaten since signing with Bellator.
