The Bellator cage is all set to return to London, with a twice-scrapped bantamweight battle scheduled for its main event. Irish bantamweight James Gallagher has twice been booked to face Englishman Cal Ellenor in Dublin, at Bellator Europe 4 and Bellator Europe 7 but, on both occasions, the bout fell by the wayside. Gallagher (10-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) was set to face Ellenor (8-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) at Bellator Europe 4 in September 2019, but issues with Ellenor’s medicals forced him off the card and Gallagher defeated his last-minute replacement, Roman Salazar, in 35 seconds at the 3Arena. The pair were then set to meet at Bellator Europe 7 on February 22, but a back injury to “The Stranimal” meant the second attempt to match the pair was put on ice once again. Now Bellator officials are hoping the third time will be a charm, with the pair now set to face off in the main event of Bellator Europe 8 at London’s SSE Arena on Saturday, May 16. Also set to feature on the card is former England international rugby player James Haskell , who will be making his MMA debut on home soil.
