The Fighting Irish are Here and looking to take over.

Bellator Dublin is this weekend and my god it is a stacked card from bottom to top. To any fan of MMA that looks at this card it might not seen big, but to an Irish fan, its everything. There are so many up and coming Irish fighters on this card that its actually overwhelming to have an event that is made to boost Irish fighters and the Irish MMA scene. This card has the potential to be amazing with so many great fights on the night. So where to start? Here's the rundown of Bellator Dublin.

The main event of the card is the one and only James Gallagher, who only recently had to get a change of opponent as his original opponent Cal Ellenor withdrew from the fight. Bellator made a quick change and now Gallagher will be facing Roman Salazar in a catchweight fight. This will be James last fight in Dublin as he plans on moving to the USA to focus on his carrer. Headlining Two shows in the space of a year, Gallagher wants to make his last fight in Dublin Special.

In the Co-Main event, and the fight that has gotten the most attention from MMA fans(with due respect of course) Richard Kiely will take on MVP. These two fighters will finally settle their rivalry in the cage this weekend. This will be Kiely's toughest test to date, when he steps into the cage with MVP. Paige is going into this fight with a record of 14-1 as Kiley's record is 3-1. Kiely has vowed to KO and make a statement with MVP, who is coming off his first Pro loss in his carrer. These two have already gotten in each other's faces and escalated the rivalry more on Social media the last few weeks, So when the cage finally closes, do not blink when these two start swinging at each other. Also on the card is fan favourite Kiefer Crosbie who is looking to make up for his last performance. Earlier this year BDK made his US debut at Bellator 224, a massive opportunity and a huge step up for BDK. His faced off against Mike Jackson, unfortunately during a scramble in the fight, BDK landed an illegal knee to Jackson, the second it landed BDK knew he was in the wrong, it was his first loss in his pro carrer as BDK was undefeated up until then. Immediately afterwards Apologised to Jackson.Now This weekend BDK is looking to put on a show and get passed this setback. BDK takes on Hugo Pereira.

Here are the some other fights you should keep an eye on at Bellator Dublin: Peter Queally vs Ryan Scope Benson Henderson vs Myles Jury Norbert Novenyi vs Will Fleury Leah McCourt vs Kerry Hughes Frans Mlambo vs Dominique Wooding And plenty more aswell. Again! This card is absolutely stacked from bottom to top and is going to be the biggest Irish MMA event ever. I cant wait to watch this event. The Fighting Irish are Coming Are You Ready?
