Bellator 169: James Gallagher on his next opponent's big mouth, training with Conor McGregor

Bellator 169: "King Mo vs. Ishii" comes to 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland tomorrow night (Dec. 16, 2016). A co-promoted card with BAMMA will feature local fights just for ticket holders along with five Bellator MMA fights that air that night live on Spike TV.

Featherweight fighter James Gallagher will take a 4-0 record into his second promotional bout against the 1-1 Anthony Taylor. After drawing the more experienced Mike Cutting for his first Bellator fight, Gallagher now gets the "veteran" role.

Gallagher should not take Taylor lightly, even though he's likely to be a huge fan favorite in Dublin, because Taylor won his last Bellator fight in 27 seconds whereas Gallagher needed three rounds to get a unanimous decision.
