The new matchups are as follows: Diana Avsaragova vs. Alejandra Lara at flyweight; Christopher Gonzalez vs. Max Rohskopf at lightweight and Jornel Lugo vs. Jaylon Bates at bantamweight. MMAjunkie.com was first to report Avsaragova vs. Lara, while FanSided MMA initially brought word of Gonzalez vs. Rohskopf and Lugo vs. Bates.

Bellator 290 takes place at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., and is headlined by a heavyweight title tilt between Ryan Bader and Fedor Emelianenko. In the co-main event, Vadim Nemkov will defend the light heavyweight crown against Yoel Romero. The evening’s main card will air on CBS.

Avsaragova is undefeated in five professional outings and is coming off a three-round verdict over Kyra Batara in her third promotional appearance at Bellator 276. A former flyweight title challenger, Lara has dropped her last three fights under the Bellator banner.

Team Alpha Male’s Gonzaelz went 1-1 in 2022, knocking out Saad Awad at Bellator 277 before falling to Usman Nurmagomedov via submission at Bellator 283. A one-time UFC competitor who gained notoriety for quitting on his stool in that one appearance, Rohskopf has turned things around since that bout with back-to-back victories under the Cage Warriors banner.

Lugo began his professional tenure with eight consecutive triumphs — including four under the Bellator banner — before suffering his first defeat to Danny Sabatello at Bellator 278. Bates is 6-0 as a pro with all of his victories coming in Bellator MMA, including four via submission.
