Judith Ruis receives the biggest opportunity of her career this weekend while also making a little bit of history.
The original main event of Bellator Dublin was supposed to be a meeting between local star, James Gallagher, and Cal Ellenor but after the Irishman suffered an injury, the women take centre stage. Judith Ruis and Leah McCourt were both scheduled to compete on the Bellator Dublin main card but they were promoted to become the evening’s headlining act. It is the first time in the year-long history of the European Series that women will main event a show and Ruis (6-4) is delighted to sit atop a card on her promotional debut.
