Bellator 300: Nurmagomedov vs. Primus was a mixed martial arts event produced by Bellator MMA, that took place on October 7, 2023, at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, United States[1][2][3]

Background

The event marked the promotion's second visit to San Diego and first since Bellator 131 in November 2014.[4]

A Bellator Heavyweight World Championship bout between current champion Ryan Bader and Linton Vassell was expected to headline the event. The pairing had previously met at Bellator 186 in a Bellator Light Heavyweight World Championship bout in November 2017, where defending champion Bader won by second-round TKO.[4] However, Vassell withdrew due to illness and the bout was cancelled.[5] As a result, a Bellator Lightweight World Grand Prix semifinal bout for the Bellator Lightweight World Championship between current champion Usman Nurmagomedov and former champion Brent Primus that was already scheduled to be on the card was promoted to be the new main event.[6]

A Bellator Women's Featherweight World Championship bout between current champion Cris Cyborg (also former Strikeforce, Invicta FC and UFC Women's Featherweight Champions) and Cat Zingano served as the co-main event.[1]

A Bellator Women's Flyweight World Championship bout between current champion Liz Carmouche and former champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane completed the triad of title fights.[7] However at the weigh-ins, Macfarlane came in at 126.6 lb (after coming in at 127.4 lb in her first attempt), 1.6 pounds over the women's flyweight limit for a title fight. The commission gave her an additional hour to cut weight, but Macfarlane came in at 128.2 lb. As a result, the bout will proceed as a one way title bout, where in the event that Macfarlane wins the fight, she would be ineligible for the championship and the title would be left vacant, while if Carmouche wins it would still count as a title defense.[8]
