Sinead Kavanagh received a boost of support with Conor McGregor by her side, but it wasn’t enough in her rematch with Arlene Blencowe on Saturday at Bellator Champions Series: Dublin. THE NOTORIOUS X SINEAD KAVANAGH #BellatorDublin | LIVE NOW on MAX https://t.co/Dpuq4XvEyP pic.twitter.com/4f7TDunhOj — Bellator MMA (@BellatorMMA) June 22, 2024 Kavanagh (9-7) got off to fine start as she controlled most of Round 1, but Blencowe (16-10) turned things around by dropping her in the final 30 seconds of the opening frame. The momentum from that sequence carried over into Round 2 where Blencowe again landed an overhand right that dropped Kavanagh and led to a standing guillotine submission victory as McGregor watched helplessly from Kavanagh’s corner at 3Arena.
