A featherweight matchup between Gabriel Varga and Teejay Britton, a light heavyweight fight between Grant Neal and Claude Wilcox, and a heavyweight bout between J.W. Kiserand Davion Franklin have all been added to the Bellator 239 lineup.
The event takes place Feb. 21 at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. The main card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.
A decorated kickboxing champion, Varga (1-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) looks to make it two-for-two against LFA veteran and Bellator debutant Britton (5-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).
As for Neal (2-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA), the highly-touted NCAA athlete’s football career was derailed due to later-dropped sexual assault accusations. He aims to continue his MMA success against Arkansas’ Wilcox (1-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA).
A fan-favorite, Kiser (5-2 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) was unsuccessful in his promotional debut against Jake Hager at Bellator 214 in January 2019. However, the 41-year-old heavyweight has another opportunity to pick up a victory under the promotion’s banner against a wrestling-based fighter, Franklin (0-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

Thank God, a proper fight.
I watch every Bellator card without exception. But you do realize that it's the older veterans and UFC castoffs that more people tune in to watch, right? Not these guys on this card as intriguing as it is for hardcore fans who know better.

No its not! Look at the ratings per card!
Mir vs Country got only 240,000 viewers!
Fedor vs Rampage 310,000
Last Thakerville card with Fortune on it did 300,000!
Facts dont lie
