James Gallagher’s knee injury has left Bellator without its biggest regional draw ahead of an upcoming Dublin event on Nov. 10, but the promotion has drafted in Irish veteran Paul Redmond as a late addition to the 3 Arena date.
Brazilian Sergio de Jesus Santos (4-6) is set to meet the Team Ryano fighter in a catchweight bout that will be contested at 73 kg (approx. 161 pounds).
Bellator confirmed the fight to MMA Fighting on Tuesday.
UFC veteran Redmond recently took a split decision win over Lukasz Chlewicki at KSW 40 in the same venue that will host Bellator 187.
