The man many observers view as the greatest fighter in Bellator MMA history will step back into the spotlight when Patricio Freire defends his featherweight championship against Adam Borics in the Bellator 286 main event on Saturday at Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California. Meanwhile, A.J. McKee moves to the lightweight division to meet Spike Carlyle in the three-round co-headliner at 155 pounds.

Bellator 286 “Pitbull” vs. Borics—which airs live on Showtime at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT—also features a featherweight affair pitting Aaron Pico against Jeremy Kennedy and a bantamweight confrontation matching Juan Archuleta with Enrique Barzola. The 10-bout undercard streams to the Bellator YouTube channel at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, a lightweight encounter between Islam Mamedov and Nick Browne anchoring the preliminary festivities.
