Ilima-Lei Macfarlane returning home for seminar

Bellator MMA women’s flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane is coming home to host a free self-defense seminar, as well as a meet-and-greet event for fans at the Neal Blaisdell Center on Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m.

The “Pineapple Princess” will be joined by UFC legend Royce Gracie, who is the first ever inductee in the UFC Hall of Fame.

The Punahou alumna recently successfully defended her title in Bellator 220 against Veta Arteaga with a third-round knockout by doctor’s stoppage.
