Richard Kiely will be back in the cage when he faces George Hardwick at Bellator Dublin, after he was added to the stacked February 22nd card.
The latest shake-up in the 3 Arena show will see the SBG star (3-2) take on Hardwick (5-1) at 180 lbs in the prelims, with Kiely hoping to get back to winning ways after a crushing defeat to Michael 'Venom' Page in Dublin last September.
It comes after Leah McCourt stepped up to headline the blockbuster show in her featherweight bout with Judith Ruis, following injuries to James Gallagher and Peter Queally - ruling them out of their co-main event bouts.
Elsewhere, Richie Smullen will face Brazilian fighter Alberth Dias (4-2) at featherweight in the prelims. With Dias replacing Ranjeet Baria.
Scotland’s Calum “Bundy” Murrie (4-2) also steps in for Englishman Tom Mearns to face Ireland’s Dylan Logan(4-3). With Murrie making his debut inside with the promotion at featherweight.
