Pam Sorenson to Face Arlene Blencowe at Bellator 271
Bellator MMA is not going to make it easy on Pam Sorenson in November.
MMA Fighting first reported on Friday that Sorenson (9-3) would be making her second promotional appearance against multiple-time featherweight title challenger Arlene Blencowe (14-8) at Bellator 271. The two 145-pound women with sights set on gold in the future will square off inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla. News of this booking has since been confirmed by the organization.

Australia’s Blencowe bounced back from a humbling submission loss to Cristiane Justino – the very first submission victory in the career of “Cris Cyborg” – by pounding out Dayana Silva in July. The win was her seventh as a Bellator featherweight, tying her with Juliana Velasquez for the third-most in divisional history. She is also tied for the record for the most appearances by a woman in company history, fighting 11 times under the Bellator banner. The woman known as "Angerfist" has earned more knockouts than any other female fighter in Bellator history.
Bellator 271 will be staged at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., on Nov. 12. The headliner comes in the same division as Sorenson-Blencowe, when Justino squares off against Sinead Kavanagh for the belt. Heavyweights will also cross swords that night, as Tyrell Fortune meets Linton Vassell.
