The Bellator cage makes its return to the United Kingdom for a slightly unusual mash-up event. Saturday’s show, which takes place at The SSE Arena at Wembley, will act as a double feature, with Bellator Europe 3 and Bellator 223 taking place in the same arena, on the same night, in front of the same set of British fans. The card is deep with 19 fights in all and bouts being shown across a range of broadcast and streaming outlets – DAZN and Paramount via tape delay and live on the Bellator app for the U.S. market, and Channel 5, Sky Sports and the Bellator app for the U.K. market

Bellator London fighters dish on old jobs, including what’s behind Paul Daley’s ‘Semtex’ nickname

LONDON – Last week, Bellator raised eyebrows when it signed a Hooters waitress, Larkyn Dasch, to fight Valerie Loureda on just 10 days’ notice at Bellator 222 in New York. Like Loureda, it was just Dasch’s second professional fight. And to her credit, she went all three rounds on the biggest of stages inside Madison Square Garden before losing via unanimous decision .

LONDON – Just when you thought Bellator London fight week was going to pass off without incident, we were treated to some good old-fashioned news conference drama, courtesy of “The Jimmy Show.” James Gallagher and Jeremiah Labiano are set to face off in a 140-pound catchweight contest at The SSE Arena, Wembley, on Saturday, and the pair exchanged some lively press-conference banter at the ODEON Luxe cinema in Leicester Square. But, after an exchange between the pair up on the dais, the difference of opinion switched to a verbal skirmish between Gallagher (8-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) and one of Labiano’s entourage seated in the second row. After one of Labiano’s group heckled Gallagher from the seats, the Irishman fired back at the man, who Gallagher believed was one of Labiano’s coaches: “You sit there and shut your (expletive) mouth.
