Bellator 292: Nurmagomedov vs. Henderson was a mixed martial arts event produced by Bellator MMA that took place on March 10, 2023, at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, United States.[1][2][3]

Background

To kick off the $1 million Bellator Lightweight World Grand Prix, a Bellator Lightweight World Championship bout between current champion Usman Nurmagomedov and Benson Henderson (former WEC and UFC Lightweight Champion) headlined the event. In the co-main event, Tofiq Musayev faced off against Alexandr Shabliy in a quarterfinal match.[1] After the main event bout, Henderson announced his retirement from professional mixed martial arts.[4][5]

A bantamweight bout between former title challenger Leandro Higo (also former LFA Bantamweight Champion) and James Gallagher was scheduled for this event.[6] However, in Mid February, Gallagher pulled out of the bout due to undisclosed reasons and the bout was scrapped.[7]

A women's flyweight bout between Keri Taylor-Melendez and Bruna Ellen was scheduled for this event.[8] However, at the end of February, Taylor-Melendez pulled out of the bout and it was scrapped.[9]

At the weigh-ins, Cass Bell weighed in at 145.2 pounds, 9.2 pounds over the non-title bantamweight fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight with Bell being fined 50% of his purse, which went to his opponent Josh Hill.[10]
