It was also confirmed today that James Gallagher will now no longer compete at Bellator 164 in Israel and has been moved to this year's Dublin card.
"We were all blown away by the Irish support when James was fighting in London," told the Irish Daily Mirror.
"These guys was singing and shouting throughout the fight and it was really exciting to be there for that. Now, to have James fighting in Dublin along with some other fighters from the market, I expect it to be a real spectacle."
