Two flyweight champions are set to face off at Bellator Dublin on Sept. 27 at the 3 Arena as WWCF champion Blaine O’Driscoll meets EFC champion Jake Hadley.
Bellator confirmed the flyweight bout to MMA Fighting on Thursday.
O’Driscoll (7-2-0) is coming off his title capture in the Ukraine when he stopped highly touted champion Teimur Rahimov in the third round via rear-naked choke. The well-rounded SBG proponent will make his Bellator debut on the night, having previously campaigned under the BAMMA banner. O’Driscoll was on the verge of fighting for the Cage Warriors flyweight title last year before former champion Nathan Greyson’s 11th-hour withdrawal.
