Sinead Kavanagh vs. Leah McCourt

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast:

Available for years

The co-main event is the biggest female fight in Irish MMA history as Dubliner Sinead Kavanagh takes on Northern Ireland’s Leah McCourt in a women’s featherweight bout. Kavanagh will be hoping to respond to a heart-breaking world title loss against pound-for-pound queen Cris Cyborg in her last outing in November at Bellator 271. A winner of her two previous Bellator outings before defeat to Cyborg, Kavanagh will be looking to get back to winning ways in front of the 3Arena crowd. Currently riding a five-fight win streak, “The Curse” McCourt returns to action following a dominant display in a unanimous decision victory against Jessica Borga during her last outing at Bellator 267 in October. With McCourt ranked fourth and Kavanagh fifth in the women’s featherweight rankings the winner will move a step closer to a title shot against incumbent champion, Cyborg. Show less
