James Gallagher was “heartbroken” with yet another fight cancellation, but Bellator was quick to set a new date and location for a fight with Cal Ellenor.
The company announced Thursday that “The Strabanimal” will headlined Bellator’s next trip to London on May 16. The card will also feature the mixed martial arts debut of former rugby player James Haskell in a heavyweight bout.
Gallagher and Ellenor were first scheduled to meet in Sept. 2019, but Ellenor withdrew with an injury. Gallagher, who tapped late-notice replacement Roman Salazar in just 35 seconds, was once again set to face “Pacino” at this weekend’s show in Dublin, but suffered a back injury.
