James Gallagher is some fighter. The 19-year-old training under John Kavanagh at SBG is undefeated in his pro career (4-0), and won Ireland's first Bellator fight last July.
The featherweight is now slated to fight on the main card at Bellator's debut in Israel, at Bellator 163.
The Strabanimal will be facing an Israeli fighter Kirill Medvedovsky. The 23-year-old BJJ brown belt is 7-3 in his pro career, but has lost three of his last four fights. It will be his first fight with Bellator.
