James Gallagher steals the headlines with Bellator Dublin win over Roman Salazar

James Gallagher grabbed away the headlines from teammate Conor McGregor at Bellator Dublin when he defeated Roman Salazar inside one round.

It didn't take long for the 'Strabanimal' to lock in a guillotine choke, less than a minute in fact, on his opponent and finish the fight early.

And despite claims that he won't be returning to Dublin for a fight in the future, the Irishman looked at home in his post-fight interview with Josh Thompson, singing along with the crowd and cutting an impassioned promo.

In other news, Irish stars Peter Queally, Keifer Crosbie and Leah McCourt picked up big wins as Irish MMA legend McGregor looked on from the stands.

However, it wasn't all good news for the hometown heroes, as underdog Richard Kiely was finished in round 1 by Michael 'Venom' Page with a flying knee.

We will have full results shortly.
