Juliana Velasquez makes the first defence of her flyweight world title against Dutch superstar Denise Kielholtz. Brazilian Velasquez remains undefeated in her 11 professional bouts with six of those coming in the Bellator cage. In her most recent outing she produced a dominant display to defeat American Ilima-Lei MacFarlane in the main event at Bellator 254 in December. Her opponent Kielholtz is the current number three ranked flyweight and is on fine form having convincingly won her last four bouts in the Bellator cage, including a spectacular first round knockout win over England鈥檚 Kate Jackson in Milan last October. Kickboxing specialist Kielholtz will provide a stern test in what promises to be a mouth-watering match-up, as she seeks to become a two-time Bellator champion, having previously won a Bellator kickboxing title.
