NEW YORK – Irish lightweight contender Peter Queally has been sitting on big news for a little while, but it’s out, and he’s happy to share his excitement ahead of his upcoming fight. Queally (12-5-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) will take on Brazilian mainstay Patricky Freire (23-9 MMA, 14-7 BMMA) in the Bellator Dublin headliner Oct. 3 at 3Arena in a bout that he believes will propel him into a title fight with Freire’s younger brother, two-division champ Patricio, later in 2020. The news officially was announced at Bellator’s 2020 showcase this week, but Queally revealed that fans back in his homeland were given a sneak peek of the matchup via the accidental early release of the fight poster in his hometown. “It was announced on a bus stop in Dublin this morning, actually,” Queally told MMA Junkie after the news conference. “They messed up the advertising, and they released the posters too early, so a lot of people knew about it (Monday morning).” For Queally, the fight represents a perfect storm, where a sequence of events has conspired to place him exactly where he wants to be in his fighting career
