Brian Moore says his goal is to destroy Luca Iovine at Bellator 291

DUBLIN – Luca Iovine has been around the block a time or two, but Brian Moore wants to give him a rude welcome to Bellator. Moore (15-9 MMA, 6-5 BMMA) has been up and down with Bellator the past nearly six years. But the important part is that right now, after a win this past September, he’s up – and can make it two straight when he takes on Iovine (18-8 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) at Bellator 291 at 3Arena in Dublin. Moore will be fighting in front of his home fans in Ireland, so you can bet on him getting a big pop from the crowd against his Italian opponent, whose resume includes fights for Cage Warriors and Venator. Check out Moore’s full pre-fight media day interview in the video above

Moore (15-9 MMA, 6-5 BMMA) returned to the cage this past Friday, defeating Arivaldo Silva in a clear unanimous decision at Bellator 285 in Dublin. And now with some momentum back, Moore is hoping to clash against former Bellator title challenger Leandro Higo. “Me and Leandro were meant to fight in Italy a while back,” Moore told reporters at the Bellator 285 post-fight press conference. “He had a visa issue, so it’s a fight that I really wanted.
