Leah McCourt makes her eagerly anticipated return to the octagon this weekend at Bellator 259.
McCourt takes on Janay Harding in a rescheduled bout.
The pair were due to meet last May but that was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and then McCourt had surgery on a shoulder problem last summer.
But now 'The Curse' is back and raring to go.
And here's how you can watch it:
When and where is Bellator 259?
Bellator 259 is on Friday, May 21 at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Connecticut, USA.
Who is fighting?
Well, we will be following Leah McCourt who returns to the octagon following a 15-month absence. The Saintfield MMA star had surgery last summer for a shoulder problem but is now raring to get back. Her last fight was in February last year when she beat Judith Ruis at the 3Arena in Dublin.
Who does McCourt fight?
McCourt faces Kiwi Janay Harding in a rescheduled bout. It was originally supposed to happen last May but was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. And then McCourt had surgery.
Who else is on the card?
There are three other British fighters on the card including England's Fabian Edwards and Alfie Davis and Wales' Brett Johns. The headline bout sees Cris Cyborg defend her featherweight title in a rematch against Leslie 'The Peacemaker' Smith, with the challenger looking for revenge after being beaten via a first-round TKO when she last faced Cyborg in 2016.
What time is the action?
The card runs from 10.30pm to 4.30am UK time, with the main card from 2am. The positive news is Davis, Johns and McCourt are involved in the first three bouts of the night so it won't be a late one if you want to see the Northern Ireland fighter in action.
