Steven Kozola on Bellator 193: ‘It’s going to be my victory’ by Ryan Sprague

Bellator did well by replacing the championship belt of Flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane after she lost hers in a fire.

It has been a rough couple of weeks for Bellator flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane.

Shortly after winning the inaugural Bellator flyweight championship with a submission victory over Emily Ducote at Bellator 186, Macfarlane lost her belt in a house fire. But last weekend at Bellator192, Macfarlane received a nice, new, shiny belt from her bosses.

Macfarlane (7-0) who is originally from Honolulu, Hawaii was visiting the island of Kaua’i on a sponsor trip for a photo shoot after winning the title. The house that Macfarlane and her company were staying in caught fire while they were out. The house they were staying in was used as a school by the non-profit organization Kumano Ike Ala according to a Go Fund Me page set up by Macfarlane. In a post immediately following the fire Macfarlane wrote, “They are good people and my ‘ohana. My belt doesn’t matter compared to what they have lost.”

This past weekend while attending Bellator 192 in Inglewood, California Bellator surprised Macfarlane with a new belt to replace the one that had burned in the fire.

In case you don't know the backstory, my belt burned in a house fire about a week ago when I was back home in Hawai'i. @BellatorMMA surprised me this past weekend at #Bellator192 with this 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. pic.twitter.com/QFjPNBICvG — Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (@ilimanator) January 23, 2018

“I’m sleeping with my shiny brand new belt that Bellator MMA surprised me with this past weekend,” Macfarlane wrote on Instagram. “Not letting it out of my sight! I have the greatest sponsors and I fight for the best promotion in the world!”

MacFarlane spoke about hoping to return to action at Bellator 196 in Chicago on April 28. She would like her opponent for that fight to be former UFC title challenger Valerie Letourneau.

Bellator 196 will be headlined by the heavyweight Grand Prix round one bout between Frank Mir and Fedor Emelianenko.
