Bellator set to return to Dublin's 3Arena in September

Bellator MMA will return to Dublin for the second time this year in September, they have confirmed today.

The massive Mixed Martial Arts promotion ran a sold-out event at Dublin's 3Arena in February, which saw James Gallagher win against Steven Graham in the main event.

And at a press conference ahead of this Saturday's fight night at the SSE Arena Wembley on Saturday, Bellator's European president David Green announced the much-anticipated Irish return for the MMA giants.

Speaking ahead of Saturday's event, which features Gallagher along with fellow Irish stars Charlie Ward and John Redmond, Green said: "I want to announce our fourth fight in the European Series.

"We're going back to a happy hunting ground for Bellator and returning to Dublin. This will come as no surprise, we've got pretty much every Irish fighter on the books.

"So we're going to be going back to the 3 Arena on Friday September 27th so expect lots of details coming up over the coming weeks."

The last fight card included huge wins from Irish fighters such as Richard Kiely, Charlie Ward and Kiefer Crosbie as well as a massive co-main event which saw Myles Price beat fan favourite Peter Queally.

Tickets will be on general sale next Friday June 28th on  ticketmaster.ie , and the event will be broadcast live in Ireland on Virgin Media Sport.
