Paul Hughes will fight Bobby King in a lightweight co-main event under the Bellator banner in Dublin, Ireland on June 22, with the main event featuring Bellator welterweight champion Jason Jackson defending his title against Ramazan Kuramagomedov.
Alright, here’s the scoop. Paul Hughes is stepping into the Bellator ring on June 22. Where’s the showdown happening? Dublin, Ireland, at the 3Arena. PFL broke the news this past Sunday. Hughes is set to duke it out with Bobby King in a lightweight co-main event.
But that’s not all. The main event? Bellator welterweight champ Jason Jackson is defending his title. And he’s up against the undefeated Ramazan Kuramagomedov. Now that’s a fight you don’t want to miss.
Let’s talk about Hughes for a sec. He’s got an 11-1 record and has been making some serious noise in the European scene. He snagged the Cage Warriors belt and even managed to avenge his only loss before becoming a free agent. He’s currently riding a five-fight winning streak. Oh, and he signed with PFL just days after his latest win in Ireland. He took down Fabiano Silva in a single round. Impressive, right?
Now, onto King. His record stands at 12-6. He’s had a mixed run with Bellator, going 3-3. But he’s had some notable victories. Remember his promotional debut in June 2021? He beat Nick Newell. And he stopped the previously unbeaten prospect Aviv Gozali. Unfortunately, King’s last two fights ended in decision defeats to Gadzhi Rabadanov and Allen Cruz.
Here’s an update on the lineup. PFL announced a change. The previously announced clash between Peter Queally and Yancy Medeiros? It’s been cancelled. Why? They didn’t say.
And the event? It’s the Bellator Champions Series Dublin.
