Kimbo Slice had been due to headline the first ever UK event in July last year with his bout against James Thompson announced for the top of Bellator 158.

However, Kimbo Slice died of heart failure just six weeks before the event and plans had to be changed.

The event went ahead nevertheless and more than 12,000 watched a packed 13-fight card at the O2 Arena.

What time will Bellator 179 start?

The main card, which is headlined by Daley and MacDonald, will start after 10pm with the main event likely to get underway around 11.30pm.
