Queally will look to rebound from his title fight loss to Patricky Freire in November. After stopping Freire in a non-title bout at Bellator 258 in May, the pair rematched at Bellator 270 in Dublin, this time for the vacant lightweight belt. But Freire exacted his revenge and stopped the Irishman in the second round to claim the title.
Mousah will also look to get back to the win column. The Manchester Top Team fighter has split his four Bellator appearances with wins over Mateusz Piskorz and Alessandro Botti. He’s coming off a unanimous decision loss to Davy Gallon at Bellator 267 in October.
The Bellator Dublin lineup currently includes:
MAIN CARD
- Gegard Mousasi vs. Austin Vanderford – for middleweight title
- Kane Mousah vs. Peter Queally
PRELIMINARY CARD
- Davy Gallon vs. Charlie Leary
- Darragh Kelly vs. Junior Morgan
