The MMA Vivisection - Bellator 173: McGeary vs. McDermott
With the UFC on break this week, it’s Bellator’s chance to shine. And to help that happen they’ve got... a card. More notably, they’ve got a strong BAMMA undercard (that will run as a separate event on the same day in the same venue). Otherwise, Bellator is leaning heavy on SBG prospects to bring some fire to an otherwise lackluster offering. The main event will feature Liam McGeary vs. Brett McDermott, who replaces Vladimir Filipovic on late notice, who himself replaced Chris Fields. Fields was supposed to join Sinead Kavanagh and James Gallagher all from SBG Ireland, as the top 3 fights on Bellator’s 5 fight offering.
