Sinead Kavanagh to face Leah McCourt in huge Irish bout added to Bellator Dublin card

Sinead Kavanagh and Leah McCourt will do battle at Bellator Dublin on February 25, it has been announced.

In what is set to be the biggest women's fight in Irish MMA history, and one of the biggest Irish fights of all time, the SBG pair will feature on the main card of the 3 Arena show.

With former lightweight title contender Peter Queally another huge Irish name set to co-headline the blockbuster pay-per-view, Irish fans will be looking forward to another feast of action.

Kavanagh (7-5) comes into the featherweight clash after suffering a KO loss to champion Cris Cyborg in November, while Leah McCourt (6-1) is riding a wave of momentum after her win over Jessica Borga in October.

It's also been confirmed that bantamweight favourite Brian Moore (14-8) will take on No. 9 ranked Jornel Lugo (7-0) on the main card, while Ciaran Clarke (4-0) returns to take on promotion debutant Abou Tounkara (7-2).

Danni McCormack puts her 5-0 record on the line against Stephanie Page (5-3) after her TKO win in Dublin last November, while there's also pro debuts for Darragh Kelly and Nathan Kelly.
