Bellator’s European team are crossing their fingers that the fourth time will be the charm after announcing that Irish bantamweight contender James Gallagher has once again been booked to face England’s Cal Ellenor . After three prior attempts to book the pair fell by the wayside, the two bantamweights have now been matched to face off in the main event of Bellator Europe 9, which takes place Oct. 3 at the Allianz Cloud, Milan, Italy. Gallagher’s (10-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) last outing saw him claim a quickfire submission victory over late replacement Roman Salazar in the main event of Bellator Europe 4 last September after Ellenor (8-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) was forced off the card due to issues with his medical documentation. A back injury to Gallagher nixed the duo’s second booking, which was set to take place at Bellator Europe 7 on Feb. 22
