Iš pradžių jis turėjo įvykti gegužės mėnesį BELLATOR 258, but injury forced Gallagher out of the encounter. Dabar, in front of what is guaranteed to be an electric Irish crowd, the “Strabanimal” will finally get his chance to silence Mix as he looks to earn the biggest win of his career to date.

“I’m so grateful to be back as the headline in Dublin,” said Gallagher, “I’ve moved to America to take my mindset and skill set to another level and I’m happy I can show my work to my home fans! Welcome to the Jimmy Show🇮🇪"

Patchy Mix is currently the #2 užėmė lengvą svorį ir kovoja iš Extreme Couture Las Vegase. Kaip ir Gallagheris, Mixas išgarsėjo BELLATOR narve, parodydamas įspūdingus darbus, įskaitant retą Sulojevo ruožą.

Mixas pasakojo apie ilgai lauktas rungtynes: „Aš eisiu į Jameso gimtąją šalį ir paliksiu jį pirmajame rate.

Po daugybės gyvų ir atgalinių pokalbių apie šiukšles ir atšauktų rungtynių dėl traumos, Queally ir Pitbull pagaliau susitiko BELLATOR narve šių metų pradžioje, su airiu sukeldamas didžiulį susierzinimą, užsitikrino sunkią TKO pergalę dėl gydytojo sustabdymo po Patricky patirto pjūvio antrajame raunde.

Queally, tuo tarpu, kuris treniruojasi kartu su Gallagheriu iš garsiosios Airijos „Straight Blast Gym“., sieks dar kartą panaudoti namų minios galią, kad padėtų jam iškovoti lemiamą pergalę prieš savo aršų varžovą, Pitbull.

„Negaliu sulaukti, kada vėl sugrįšiu, kad galėčiau kartą ir visiems laikams išspręsti šią problemą su Pitbull ir tikrai suteikti 3Arena publikai ką nors ypatingo.,“ – pasakė Queally. „Patricky yra toks tobulas varžovas, su manimi ir juo nutiko tiek daug, kad manau, kad šį kartą minia bus dar labiau investuota nei įprastai. Tikėtis visiško karo – aš jį nugalėsiu, o kitas lengvas diržas.

Freire – vyresnysis BELLATOR lengvo svorio čempiono Patrício brolis – profesionaliai rungtyniauja nuo tada 2005, užsitarnavęs bauginančią nokauto atlikėjo reputaciją. Gyvenimas pagal pravardę „Pitbull,Freire sieks išlyginti rezultatą su Queally, nutildyti namų publiką ir grįžti į savo pergalių kelius.

„Jis žino, kad buvo sumuštas pirmoje kovoje,“, - sakė Pitbull. „Jis jautė skausmą kojose ir kūne, Aš priversiu jį dabar jausti dar didesnį skausmą. Airijos gerbėjai yra labai garsūs ir aistringi, bet kai aš jį išmušiau, toje arenoje išgirsi smeigtuką“.

Žinia apie sugrįžimą į Dubliną užbaigia BELLATOR MMA renginių trejetą, patvirtintą Europos teritorijoje 2021, spalį nuleidus narvą Londone 1 ir Maskva spalio mėn 23 prieš išvykstant į Airijos sostinę lapkritį 5.

There are few mixed martial artists that invoke the type of polarizing reaction “The Strabanimal” does when entering the Bellator cage. A longtime training partner of Conor McGregor under the tutelage of world-renowned coach John Kavanagh at SBG Ireland, the 21-year-old has been on a tear since signing with Bellator in 2016, racking up four wins in four contests.

Adam Borics made his Bellator debut at Bellator 177, finishing Anthony Taylor via submission in the opening frame. Known as “The Kid,” Borics has competed exclusively throughout his four-year career in Europe, and this time will be no different. Having won over plenty of fans over on the heels of his promotional debut in April of last year, Borics will definitely have the home field advantage on April 6.

 

 

 

 

Bellator women’s kickboxing flyweight champ Denise Kielholtz is riding high following her first MMA victory over Jessica Middleton earlier this year at Bellator 188, while Lena Ovchynnikova will enter the Bellator cage on Balandis 6 looking to duplicate the success she had the last time she competed in Hungary, a TKO victory over Helen Harper. When the pair of flyweights compete at Bellator 196, look for both to keep the fight on their feet, making for an exciting standup battle.

A native of France, Maria Casanova has competed professionally since 2015.
