Mansour Barnaoui vs. Jay-Jay Wilson, Five Other Bouts Added to Bellator 299 Card

A lightweight clash pitting Mansour Barnaoui against Jay-Jay Wilson is among six new additions to the Bellator 299 lineup.

The California-based promotion announced the finalized card — up to a whopping 21 fights — on Wednesday. Bellator 299 takes place on Sept. 23 at the 3Arena in Dublin and is headlined by a middleweight championship tilt between Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards. The main card airs in the United States on Showtime at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while prelims stream on the Bellator YouTube channel and Pluto TV at 11 a.m. ET/8 p.m. PT.

The other five newly-announced bouts are as follows: Luca Poclit vs. Roman Faraldo at welterweight; Asael Adjoudj vs. Ibrahim Al-Faqih Hassan at featherweight; Khasan Magomedsharipov vs. Martin McDonough; Davy Gallon vs. Attila Korkmaz at lightweight and Sergei Bilostennyi vs. Kasim Aras at heavyweight.

A former lightweight champion in BAMMA, M-1 Global and Road FC, Barnaoui is 1-1 under the Bellator banner. He debuted with a second-round submission of Adam Piccolotti at Bellator 287 before dropping a five-round verdict against Brent Primus in a lightweight grand prix bout at Bellator 296 on May 12.

New Zealand’s Wilson has been victorious in nine of his first 10 professional outings — with all but one of those taking place in Bellator. The 26-year-old Alliance Jiu-Jitsu representative bounced back from his first career defeat in his last outing at Bellator 286, where he took a split-decision triumph against Vladimir Tokov last October.
