HONOLULU – Bellator 294 took place Friday, and MMA Junkie provided live and official results throughout the event.
The event took place at Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu. The main card aired on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.
In the main event, women’s flyweight champion Liz Carmouche (19-7 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) successfully defended her title against DeAnna Bennett (13-8-1 MMA, 3-2 BMMA). Bennett missed weight, so she was ineligible to win the title, but Carmouche still put her belt on the line.
In the co-feature, Tim Johnson (16-9 MMA, 4-5 BMMA) met Said Sowma (8-5 MMA, 2-4 BMMA) in a hard-fought heavyweight bout.
