The promotion recently announced that Raufeon
Stots
vs. Marcos
Breno
and Grant Neal
vs. Khalid
Murtazaliev
are now off the Sept. 7 card. As a result, a
women’s flyweight clash pitting Sumiko
Inaba
against Mackenzie
Stiller
has been elevated to the main draw. A reason for the
cancellations was not revealed.


Bellator Champions Series San Diego
takes place at Pechanga
Arena and is headlined by a lightweight championship clash between
Usman

and Alexandr
Shabliy
. The event will air in its entirety on Max beginning at
8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Stots is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Danny
Sabatello
at Bellator 301 and is 8-1 since joining the
promotion in 2019. Breno, meanwhile, hasn’t competed since April
2023, when he suffered a second-round submission defeat to
Sabatello at Bellator 294.

Neal had a three-bout winning streak snapped on March 22, when he
dropped a three-round verdict against Luke
Trainer
at Bellator Belfast. Dagestan’s Murtazliev is 3-1 under
the Bellator banner, including a decision win over Tony
