Bellator MMA's busy weekend in Hawaii will be capped off by Bellator 279, which features two title fights.
The main event will see featherweight queen Cristiane Justino look to defend her title once again against Arlene Blencowe, while the co-main event draws an interim bantamweight title tilt and tourney match between Juan Archuleta and Raufeon Stots. The card also features a second bantamweight grand prix bout between Kyoji Horiguchi and Patrick Mix. All fighters on the main card made weight, although prelim competitor Whittany Pyles (128) came in two pounds heavy for her flyweight contest against Sumiko Inaba (125.2).
