Bellator 300 Update: Sara McMann to Face Leah McCourt in San Diego on Oct. 7

A women’s featherweight showdown pitting Sara McMann against Leah McCourt has been added to the Bellator 300 lineup.

A promotion official confirmed the pairing to Sherdog following an initial report from Severe MMA. Bellator 300 takes place at Pechanga Arena in San Diego on Oct. 7 and is highlighted by four championship fights on the main card. The event is headlined by a heavyweight title clash between Ryan Bader and Linton Vassell.

Four other preliminary contests were confirmed by the promotion on Wednesday: Henry Corrales vs. Kai Kamaka III at featherweight; Davion Franklin vs. Slim Trabelsi at heavyweight; Ilara Joanne vs. Jena Bishop at flyweight and Bobby Seronio III vs. Alberto Garcia at bantamweight.

A former UFC bantamweight title challenger, McMann enjoyed a successful promotional debut, as she outpointed Arlene Blencowe at Bellator 294 on April 21. The Olympic silver medalist has won three of her last four professional outings, including triumphs over Karol Rosa and Lina Lansberg in the UFC.

After winning six consecutive bouts from 2018 to 2021, McCourt has lost two of her last three appearances within the California-based promotion. Most recently, she dropped a unanimous decision to Cat Zingano at Bellator 293.
