The Official Unofficial Bellator Rankings - May 1 2019

 Despite featuring many ranked contenders and 2 reigning Bellator champs, Bellator 220 didn't effect the rankings very much. The religiously gun-shy Rory MacDonald retained his title after a majority draw against proven action fighter Jon Fitch. Rory moves forward in the tournament despite not a single judge scoring the fight for him. Phil Davis defeated Liam McGeary for a second time, but with 205-champ Ryan Bader currently AFK, it's unclear where Mr. Wonderful goes from here. Adam Piccollotti put up a spirited effort against Benson Henderson, but came up just short losing by split decision. And finally, flyweight phenom Ilima Lei-MacFarlane continues to dominate, notching her third successful title defence and fifth straight stoppage win. Definitely someone to keep an eye on.
