Leah McCourt-Sinead Kavanagh Added To Bellator: Dublin

Leah McCourt and Sinead Kavanagh will meet at Bellator 275 in Dublin in a key showdown.

The fighting females from Ireland will be part of the February 25 main card from the 3Arena. 

In the headline bout, Gegard Mousasi defends his middleweight title against Austin Vanderford. Kane Mousah and Peter Queally are set for the co-main.

Kavanagh will be hoping to respond to a heartbreaking world title loss against Cris Cyborg in her last outing in November at Bellator 271.

A winner of her two previous Bellator outings before facing the pound-for-pound queen, Kavanagh will be looking to get back to her winning ways and live up to her “KO” moniker in front of the 3Arena crowd.

Currently riding a five-fight win streak, Northern Ireland’s McCourt returns to action following a dominant display in a unanimous decision victory against Jessica Borga during her last outing at Bellator 267 in October.

Now sitting at No. 4 in Bellator’s featherweight rankings, a win at the expense of her opponent on Feb. 25 will go a long way towards moving “The Curse” one step closer to a Bellator world title shot against the incumbent champion, Cyborg.
