Bellator Fighting Championships will bring its action-packed brand of mixed martial arts to the Big Easy this fall during a nationally-televised show at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in downtown New Orleans. The show marks the first time that a major MMA promotion has traveled to New Orleans in nearly 10 years and the first time that the 36-year-old theater will host a professional sporting event.

The event, Bellator 28, will be headlined by two semifinal-round bouts in Bellator's ongoing Season 3 tournaments as well as two "Qualifier Fights" for Bellator's Season 4 Lightweight and Featherweight Tournaments. Those fights will feature:

  • New Orleans-area native and beloved UFC veteran Rich "No Love" Clementi (36-16-1) vs. Bellator Season 2 veteran Carey Vanier (9-3) at 155 lbs., and
  • Bellator Season 2 veteran Georgi "Insane" Karakhanyan (13-2-1) vs. undefeated Texas-based submission ace Chas Skelly (7-0) at 145 lbs.
