Bellator Champions Series 1: Anderson vs. Moore (also known as Bellator Champions Series Belfast and Bellator 302) was a mixed martial arts event produced by Bellator MMA, that took place on March 22, 2024, at the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It marked the first show to air on Max as part of a new U.S. television deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Background
The inaugural "Champions Series" card was Bellator's first event since it was acquired by the Professional Fighters League (PFL) late last year; with PFL vs. Bellator being a co-promoted event. It was also the promotion's second visit to Belfast, and the first since Bellator 173 in February 2017.
A featherweight bout between Sinead Kavanagh and Leah McCourt was scheduled for this event. On February 20, McCourt announced that she was out of the bout after suffering broken ribs and a torn oblique.
On March 15, it was announced that the lightweight bout between 2019 Rizin Lightweight Grand Prix winner Tofiq Musayev and Alfie Davis and the middleweight bout between Steven Hill and Jordan Newman were scrapped. Instead, Davis will take on Oscar Ownsworth (8-2-1) and both middleweight will no longer appear on the card.
At the weigh-ins, Vikas Singh Ruhil weighed in at 147 pounds, one pound over the featherweight non-title fight limit. His bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined a percent of his purse which went to his opponent Nathan Kelly.
