Bellator 287: Piccolotti vs. Barnaoui (also known as Bellator Milan) was a mixed martial arts event produced by Bellator MMA, that took place on October 29, 2022, at the Allianz Cloud Arena in Milan, Italy.[1][2][3][4]

Background

The event marked the promotion's fifth visit to Milan and first since Bellator Milan 3 in October 2020.[1]

A lightweight bout between Adam Piccolotti and promotional newcomer Mansour Barnaoui headlined the event.[5]

A middleweight bout between Steven Hill and Walter Pugliesi was booked for this event, but Pugliesi was forced to pull out due to personal issues and was replaced by Andrea Fusi in a catchweight bout at 82 kg.[6]

A heavyweight bout between Denis Stojnić and Oleg Popov was scheduled for this event, however the bout was called citing "Covid-19 protocols". Days later, Stojnić was arrested as part of mass arrests of individuals involved in an organized crime ring.[7]
