JEREMIAH LABIANO NOW TAKES ON ISRAEL’S NOAD LAHAT IN BELLATOR’S RETURN TO TEL AVIV AT Беллатор 188

LOS ANGELES – Bellator MMA is set for its return to Dublin, Ирландия, as undefeated sensation A.J.

In addition to the new main event, Ирландия ның Sinead Kavanagh (4-2) таласады Maria Casanova (2-4-1) in a women’s featherweight main card bout, уақыт Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. (1-1) will compete against Fred Freeman (1-0) А 165 pound-catchweight contest.

 

James Gallagher was initially slated to headline against Еремия Monaghan, but was forced to withdraw from the card after suffering an injury during training, leaving room for his divisional rival to headline an event in hostile territory. Moore’s previously scheduled opponent, Andre Goncalves (3-1), will now face Northern Ireland’s Decky Dalton (7-3) А Беллатор 187 featherweight matchup.

 

Беллатор 187: McKee vs. Moore will be broadcast free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ЖӘНЕ/ 8 p.m. CT. Tickets for the event are on sale now and currently available at Ticketmaster.ie.

Беллатор 188 takes place inside Menora Mivtachim Arena and airs on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ЖӘНЕ/ 8 p.m. CT бойынша Қараша. 17.

 

The son of respected MMA veteran Antonio McKee, A.J. Макки spent his entire childhood in the gym soaking up every bit of knowledge and experience available to him. The 22-year-old prodigy has applied that knowledge inside the Bellator cage and has made quite a statement in his first nine fights as an MMA professional, racking up seven finishes in nine outings. The Long Beach, Calif.-native now heads to Ireland, a country that is all too familiar with “Mercenary” due to his feud with Gallagher.

 

Known around “The Emerald Isle” as “Pikeman,” Brian Moore will be making his third appearance in the Bellator cage and his first main event. Having previously competed against top-rated competition the likes of Daniel Weichel and Mike Wilkinson, the 30-year-old SBG Ireland standout most recently stopped Michal Horejsi via punches at Беллатор 177 this past April. Moore grew up 90 minutes from 3Arena and will undoubtedly have home field advantage against McKee on Қараша. 10.

 

Fresh off his first-round TKO finish of D.J. Griffin, жанында Беллатор 179 Лондонда, the son of the legendary Kimbo Slice will return to Europe in search of his second victory as professional. Also training under the tutelage of Antonio McKee at Team Bodyshop in Long Beach, Калифорния., Slice is one of the main sparring partners for A.J. Макки, Aaron Pico мен Joey Davis. Fighting out of St. Louis, Fred Freeman made his professional debut in March, finishing his opponent with punches in the second round of their regional matchup. Before turning pro, Freeman laced up the gloves nine times as an amateur.

 

Set for her fourth Bellator appearance, Sinead Kavanagh returns to the site of her promotional debut, a venue that saw her defeat Elina Kallionidou with a decisive victory at Беллатор 169. A three-time veteran of BAMMA, “KO” most recently took on Арлин Blencowe, who now fights Юлия Пайда for the women’s featherweight title. A native of France, Maria Casanova has competed professionally since 2015. With two submission victories on her resume, the KTP Scola-product will look to hand Kavanagh the first submission loss of her career.
