Background

edit

The event marked the promotion's 10th visit to Dublin and first since Bellator 291 in February 2023.[3]

A Bellator Middleweight World Championship bout between current champion Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards headlined the event.[1]

A women's featherweight bout between Sinead Kavanagh and Sara Collins took place at the event.[4][5]

Khasan Magomedsharipov was scheduled to face Martin McDonough in the featherweight bout, however his opponent pulled out and was replaced by Piotr Niedzielski.[6] At weigh-ins, Niedzielski weighed in at 147.8 pounds, 1.8 pounds over the featherweight non-title limit. Due to this, the bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Magomedsharipov.[7]
