Severe MMA was first to report the pairing. Bellator 298 takes
place at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and is
headlined by a welterweight tilt pitting Logan
Storley against Brennan
Ward.
Gallagher had a four-bout winning streak snapped in his most recent
outing, when he suffered a third-round submission defeat to
Patrick
Mix in a bantamweight bout at Bellator 270 in November 2021.
The SBG Ireland product is 8-2 during his tenure with the
California-based promotion.
Lencioni, meanwhile, has been victorious in his last four
professional appearances — including two under the Bellator banner.
Most recently, the Gracie Barra Portland representative submitted
Blake
Smith in the second round of their encounter at Bellator
294.
