The popular Hawaiian will put her undefeated record and her Bellator MMA women’s flyweight championship on the line against the unbeaten Juliana Velasquez in the Bellator 254 headliner on Thursday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Macfarlane, 30, captured the 125-pound crown a little more than three years ago and has since defended it on four different occasions, turning away Alejandra Lara, Valerie Letourneau, Veta Arteaga and Kate Jackson.

Bellator 254 “Macfarlane vs. Velasquez”—which airs live on the CBS Sports Network and Dazn at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT—also features a bantamweight co-main event matching Magomed Magomedov with Matheus Mattos and a pair of heavyweight tilts, as Linton Vassell meets Ronny Markes and Davion Franklin faces Anthony Garrett. Meanwhile, the entire five-fight undercard streams to Bellator’s YouTube channel and Dazn at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.
