Bellator London Live Results – Mousasi vs. Lovato Jr.
This weekend Bellator returns the United Kingdom to hold one of their biggest European events ever, Bellator 223, also known as Bellator London, where we will see Bellator Middleweight Champion Gegard Mousasi take on undefeated challenger Rafael Lovato Jr. These two warriors were initially scheduled to compete back in January this year but due to an injury, Mousasi was forced to withdraw from the bout.
Also on the main card, we will see the return of Paul “Semtex” Daley who will surely be looking to bounce back with a dominant performance, however, he will have his hands full with the explosive Brazilian Erick Silva. Silva unfortunately lost his Bellator debut back in February and will be hungry to get his first win this weekend, especially over such a top contender in Paul Daley.
The ever so popular Irishman, James Gallagher, will look to raise the roof when he enters the cage and has promised fireworks on the night. Gallagher has displayed incredible ground skills in his previous matchups but he will face a tough test on the ground with his upcoming opponent Jerimiah “The Kid” Labiano who is a BJJ specialist in his own right. With both fighters looking to constantly push the pace, this is a potential fight of the night for sure.
This stacked card has so many names to mention such as Melvin Manhoef, Aaron Chalmers, Fabian Edwards and Mike Shipman just being a few of them.
