The exciting tournament final will see Raufeon Stots defending the interim Bellator bantamweight championship against Patchy Mix in the main event tonight.

Stots, who enters this fight having won 10 straight and a sole pro loss on his record, is undefeated in the Bellator cage. Stots's tournament path thus far has seen him knock out former champ Juan Archuleta in the quarterfinals at Bellator 279 to win the interim title before retaining it with a decision win over Danny Sabatello at Bellator 289.

At the same events, respectively, Mix advanced to the finals with a decision win over former champ Kyoji Horiguchi and a technical submission of Magomed Magomedmov. Mix previously challenged for the then-vacant bantamweight title at Bellator 246, getting edged out on the scorecards against Archuleta.
