Bellator
MMA returns to Dublin for
Bellator 275.
Headlining the card is a middleweight title fight between champion
Gegard
Mousasi and challenger Austin
Vanderford, who both had no issue making weight. The weigh-ins
were mostly uneventful, as only prelims curtain-raiser Jamie Hay
missed weight, coming in less than a pound heavy for his
featherweight bout against Lee
Hammond.
Mousasi (48-7-2) has only lost once since joining the promotion in
2017, and successfully won back the title he lost to Rafael
Lovato Jr. in 2020. “The Dreamcatcher” was last seen knocking
out John
Salter last year, and will look to continue his momentum.
Mousasi officially weighed 184.6 pounds for his latest title
defense.
An undefeated prospect looking to stake his claim as one of the
best in the world, this is the biggest fight in the career of
Vanderford (11-0). Having proved he was a contender by winning a
decision over Fabian
Edwards, “The Gentleman” is now 5-0 inside the Bellator cage.
The title challenger stepped on the scale at 183.7 pounds.
Bellator 275’s main card will air on Friday at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT
on Showtime, while prelims will air on its YouTube channel starting
at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.
