Bellator’s first trip to South Dakota later this summer continues to build with the addition of a bantamweight fight.

James Gallagher (7-0 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) is set to take on Ricky Bandejas (10-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) at Bellator 204. The promotion recently made the booking official. It first was announced by the website for the host venue, Sanford Pentagon.

Bellator 204 is set for Aug. 17 at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D. The main card will air on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Gallagher, a training partner of former UFC champion Conor McGregor, will make the move down from featherweight for the first time. He won his promotional debut in 2016 with a unanimous decision, but since then has three straight submission finishes over Anthony Taylor, Kirill Medvedovski and Chinzo Machida.

Gallagher was supposed to fight this past November at Bellator 187, but pulled out of a fight against Jeremiah Labiano with a knee injury. Then he was supopsed to fight Adam Borics in April at Bellator 196, but a hand injury took him out. It will have been 14 months since his win over Machida when he steps in against Bandejas.

Bandejas will be making his promotional debut against the Irishman. All 11 of the New Jersey-based fighter’s bouts have come under the CFFC banner in New England, where he has won five straight. Six of his 11 wins have come by stoppage, including two knockout wins in 2017. At CFFC 69, he won the interim bantamweight title with a fourth-round knockout of Nick Mamalis.

The Bellator 204 card now includes:

Darrion Caldwell vs. Noad Lahat A.J. Matthews vs. Logan Storley Ricky Bandejas vs. James Gallagher
