Promotion officials also confirmed a featherweight tilt pitting Daniel Weichel against Robert Whiteford for the event. MMAFighting.com was first to report the bookings. Bellator London takes place at the SSE Arena and is headined by a welterweight title fight between Yaroslav Amosov and Michael Page.

Kielholtz is coming off a split-decision loss against reigning 125-pound champ Juliana Velasquez in the Bellator 262 headliner on July 16. Prior to that, “Miss Dynamite” won four straight bouts under the Bellator banner to solidify herself as the division’s No. 1 contender.

Watanabe, meanwhile, suffered her first loss in 11 professional outings at Bellator 261, where she suffered a 35-second TKO defeat to Liz Carmouche. The former Rizin and Deep Jewels competitor began her promotional tenure with triumphs over Ilara Joanne and Alejandra Lara.

A two-time featherweight title challenger, Weichel has lost four of his last six outings within the California-based promotion. Most recently, the German fighter dropped a three-round verdict to Pedro Carvalho at Bellator 270. His 41-13 career mark dates back to a May 2002 debut.

Scotland’s Whiteford is currently on a five-bout unbeaten streak, though his last appearance against Andrew Fisher at Bellator 267 ended in a no contest due to an accidental eye poke. The UFC veteran was victorious in four fights prior, including a third-round KO of Sam Sicilia in his promotional debut at Bellator London in November 2019.
