Bellator flyweight champ Ilima Macfarlane and former UFC title challenger Valerie Letourneau will both be fighting at Bellator 201. However, it won’t be against each other.

Although it seemed logical Macfarlane’s (7-0 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) next title defense would come against Letourneau (9-6 MMA, 1-0 BMMA), that won’t be the case. The champ instead draws Alejandra Lara (7-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) as her challenger, while Letourneau will fight Bruna Ellen (4-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) on the card.

Bellator officials today announced the matchups for Bellator 201.

Bellator 201 will take place June 29 at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. The main card will air on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Undefeated champ Macfarlane will make her seventh Bellator appearance at the event, the most of any female in company history. Her run with the promotion has been perfect, and that includes her fifth-round submission of Emily Ducote at Bellator 186 in November to claim the vacant 125-pound belt.

Macfarlane’s road to the gold was much longer than Lara, who gets her title shot after just one fight with he organization. The 23-year-old submitted Lena Ovchynnikova in the third round of their December matchup at Bellator 190.

Hoping to make a statement and take position as the next title challenger after Lara will be Letourneau and Ellen. Former UFC title challenge Letourneau made a successful Bellator debut in December with a unanimous decision over Kate Jackson at Bellator 191. She meets Ellen, who has won her past two Bellator fights.
