Los Angeles – Due to an undisclosed injury, James Gallagher’s highly anticipated return to the Bellator cage will be delayed.
Ka rite ki te hua, the new headliner for Bellator’s third event in Budapest, Hungary i runga i Rāmere, April 6, will feature former world champion Benson Henderson (24-8) in a lightweight matchup against Roger Huerta (24-9-1, 1 NC), who returns to Bellator for the first time since 2010.
