UFC 220 isn’t the only major MMA event happening on January 20th. Bellator 192 originates from The Forum in Inglewood, California, as the promotion begins its 2018 with a major fight card, as Spike rebrands itself as the Paramount Network. In the main event, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson takes on Chael Sonnen in the opening round of the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix, while the co-main event is a welterweight title bout between Douglas Lima and Rory MacDonald. For my money, Lima vs. MacDonald is one of the best fights on paper in Bellator MMA history.

The rest of the main card is quite intriguing, as ex-lightweight champion Michael Chandler battles Japanese submission specialist Goiti Yamauchi, Georgi Karakhanyan takes on Henry Corrales in a good featherweight contest, and featherweight super prospect Aaron Pico faces veteran Shane Kruchten.

Here’s the full fight lineup for Saturday night, noting that this event should end before the Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou main event at UFC 220:
