Bellator 273 results and highlights will drop in this space throughout the night following the conclusion of each matchup from inside the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
The January 29 card features a highly anticipated unification bout in the promotion’s heavyweight division. On one side will be reigning division king Ryan Bader as he looks to defend the title he won three years ago for just the second time. Challenging for the throne will be interim titlist Valentin Moldavsky. The Team Fedor fighter won his belt with a June decision win over Tim Johnson. The Russian is unbeaten in his last six fights.
In the co-main event, one-time UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson will look to end a three-fight losing skid and get his first W in two and half years when he squares off with talented Dagestani grappler Islam Mamedov. Mamedov has not tasted defeat since his second professional bout in 2009.
