DUBLIN – Leading mixed martial arts promotion BELLATOR MMA has today added a number of explosive fights toBellator 275: Mousasi vs. Vanderford, taking place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ιρλανδία, την Παρασκευή, February 25.
In what is set to be the biggest Irish female fight ever, a women’s featherweight bout between Northern Ireland’sΛία ΜακΚουρτ (6-1) and Ireland’s most-recent title challengerSinead Kavanagh (7-5) is set to light up the main card.

The promotion’s explosive return to the Irish capital forBellator 275: Mousasi vs Vanderford, sees middleweight world championGegard Mousasidefend his crown against undefeated AmericanΌστιν Βάντερφορντ. The co-main event sees Irish star Peter Queally return to action against Manchester, Της ΑγγλίαςKane Mousah (13-4) in the lightweight division.

Sinead Kavanagh will be hoping to respond to a heartbreaking world title loss against Cyborg in her last outing in November atBellator 271. A winner of her two previous BELLATOR outings before facing the pound-for-pound queen, Kavanagh will be looking to get back to her winning ways and live up to her “KO” moniker in front of the 3Arena crowd.
Currently riding a five-fight win streak, Northern Ireland’s McCourt returns to action following a dominant display in a unanimous decision victory againstΤζέσικα Μπόργκαduring her last outing atBELLATOR 267τον Οκτώβριο. Now sitting at No. 4 in BELLATOR’s featherweight rankings, a win at the expense of her opponent on Feb. 25 will go a long way towards moving “The Curse” one step closer to a BELLATOR world title shot against incumbent champion, Cris Cyborg.
Brian Moore’s long-awaited Dublin return will see the Wexford fighter go toe-to-toe with No. 9 ranked bantamweight Jornel Lugo. “The Pikeman” will be hoping the home support helps him hand Lugo his first professional defeat and in doing so climb into the official bantamweight rankings for the first time. Lugo has won all four of his bouts under the BELLATOR banner, including an emphatic first round submission win against Keith Lee atBellator 265 νωρίτερα αυτό το έτος.
Several additions have been confirmed for the preliminary card including a bantamweight bout between WelshmanΜπρετ Τζονς (17-3) καιKhurshed Kakhorov (8-0). Johns makes his return to European soil looking to make a statement in a must-see match-up against the undefeated Kakhorov. MMA veteran Johns boasts an impressive 17 wins from his 20 επαγγελματικούς αγώνες, while Kakhorov has won each of his first eight bouts, including a dominant unanimous decision win in his BELLATOR debut against Jair Junior atBellator 267 in October.
England’s No. 5 κατετάγηΦάμπιαν Έντουαρντς (9-2) is set to make his return to the cage in Dublin when he takes onMarian Dimitrov(10-2). “The Assassin” won his first nine professional fights and established himself as one of the rising stars in BELLATOR’s middleweight division. He will be looking to bounce back from a defeat in his last fight against Dublin title challenger Austin Vanderford atBellator 259 το Μάιο.
Της ΙρλανδίαςDanni McCormack (5-0) returns to action fresh from her win at the 3Arena in November against Audrey Kerouche, when she facesStephanie Page(5-3) in a strawweight bout.

Πρωταθλητής – Sergio Pettis (21-5):
Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.,Sergio Pettis captured the BELLATOR bantamweight crown in May 2021 by outpointing former championJuan Archuleta in a fast-paced contest atBELLATOR 258.During a nearly six-year, 14-fight UFC stint, the Roufusport-product competed in both the flyweight and bantamweight classes, collecting nine victories and a pair of “Fight of the Night” honors against Alex Caceres and Matt Hobar in 2014. Prior to his UFC tenure, Πέττης, the younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, earned world titles in Resurrection Fighting Alliance’s flyweight division and North American Fighting Championship’s 135-pound class. Following a trio of impressive triumphs over some of the division’s elite, BELLATOR’s bantamweight champion is set to protect his belt and an unblemished 3-0 promotional mark entering the tournament.
Former BELLATOR Bantamweight Champion – Kyoji Horiguchi (29-3):
Hailing from Takasaki, Ιαπωνία, Η 31-year-oldKyoji Horiguchi is the reigning RIZIN bantamweight champion who notoriously became a simultaneous, two-promotion champion in 2019 after taking down and upsetting then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell at Madison Square Garden. Δυστυχώς, an injury would force Horiguchi to relinquish his BELLATOR title in 2019, and he now looks to reclaim his belt in a main event clash with current championSergio Pettis στοBellator 272. While with RIZIN, the American Top Team-product amassed an impressive 10-1 promotional mark, highlighted by eight finishes and five first-round knockouts. Επιπλέον, more than half of Horiguchi’s career victories have come via knockout. Τώρα, after reclaiming his RIZIN bantamweight strap and avenging only his third loss in 32 outings with a highlight-reel, opening-round knockout over Kai Asakura on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Japanese sensation fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla., aims to get his hands back on BELLATOR’s title
Μη. 1 Ranked Bantamweight – Juan Archuleta (25-3):
With the Bantamweight World Grand Prix set, former BELLATOR World Champion and No. 1-κατετάγηJuan Archuleta sees a clear path toward regaining the 135-pound crown. Armed with 25 professional victories, συμπεριλαμβανομένου 12 by way of K.O. ή υποβολή, the “Spaniard” has no issues stopping opponents inside the BELLATOR cage. The former four-division King of the Cage world champion, who holds victories over Patchy Mix, Henry Corrales, and Ricky Bandejas, strives to keep that trend going throughout the Grand Prix.
Μη. 2 Ranked Bantamweight – Raufeon Stots (17-1):
Considered one of the world’s best 135-pound fighters, Raufeon “Supa” Stots has been in the title conversation since his 2019 BELLATOR debut. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, ο αριθ. 2-ranked bantamweight has defeated some of BELLATOR’s finest, including Magomed Magomedov and Josh Hill, by smothering opponents with top-tier grappling ability. Sporting a near-perfect 17-1 ρεκόρ, the Roufusport product and two-time NCAA Division II Champion now has an opportunity to compete for a long-awaited crown.
Μη. 3 Ranked Bantamweight – Patchy Mix (15-1):
Set to make his sixth promotional appearance under the BELLATOR umbrella, the pride of Angola, Ν.Υ., has collected two-first round submission victories while compiling a 4-1 record with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 28-year-old Buffalo, Ν.Υ.. native looks to build off his most recent win atBellator 270 over James Gallagher in his opponent’s hometown of Dublin, Ιρλανδία, τον περασμένο μήνα. Prior to his time with BELLATOR, Mix dominated the competition while on the regional scene by collecting nine of his 15 professional victories, including five first-round finishes. Τώρα, the submission specialist will face the toughest challenge of his career, a shot at the tournament’s $1 million prize and BELLATOR’s 135-pound strap.
Μη. 4 Ranked Bantamweight – Magomed Μαγκομέντοφ (18-2):
After capturing belts in different organizations, Dagestani phenomMagomed Μαγκομέντοφ hopes to add to his collection by taking home BELLATOR gold. Amassing an impressive 18-2 career record with 12 via finish, “Tiger” has made a swift impact on the BELLATOR 135-pound division since his December 2020 promotional debut by climbing to No. 4 in the rankings. Possessing both a blistering pace and superior grappling, Magomedov has the potential to be a nightmare matchup for anyone in the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.
Μη. 5 Ranked Bantamweight – Ο Leandro higo (21-5):
After dropping in weight to 135-pounds, Leandro Higo has been on a tear by winning three consecutive fights and putting the entire bantamweight division on notice. Under the tutelage of the famed Pitbull Brothers camp, the Brazilian is coming off a hard-fought, split-decision victory over former Bantamweight World Champion Darrion CaldwellatBellator 259 το Μάιο 2021. As 12 of Higo’s 21 pro victories have come by submission, the entire bracket knows that the No. 5-ranked bantamweight will not be an easy out.
Μη. 6 Ranked Bantamweight – James Gallagher (11-2):
Hailing from Strabane, Ιρλανδία, one of MMA’s brightest young fighters strives to notch his 12th career victory in a tournament stacked with 135-pound talent. Following a finish over Anthony Taylor atBellator 169 το Δεκέμβριο 2016 and a pair of first-round submissions the following year, “The Strabanimal” has tallied four victories over his past six contests, including three first-round finishes and a highlight reel 35-second win atBellator 227. Poised for the biggest test of his young career, the former SBG Ireland-product aims to shed the shadow of former training partner, Conor McGregor, and add to his own legacy with a shot at BELLATOR bantamweight gold.
