Background
The event will mark the promotion's second visit to San Diego and first since Bellator 131 in November 2014.
A Bellator Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Ryan Bader and Linton Vassell was expected to headline the event. The pairing had previously met at Bellator 186 in a Bellator Light Heavyweight Championship bout in November 2017, where defending champion Bader won by second-round TKO. However, Vassell withdrew due to illness and the bout was cancelled. As a result, a Bellator Lightweight World Grand Prix semifinal bout between current champion Usman Nurmagomedov and former champion Brent Primus is scheduled to serve as the new headliner.
A Bellator Women's Featherweight Championship bout between current champion Cris Cyborg and Cat Zingano is scheduled to serve as the co-main event.
A Bellator Women's Flyweight Championship bout between Liz Carmouche and former champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane is scheduled to complete the quad of title fights.
