One of Conor McGregor's teammates is going to get the Madison Square Garden treatment, as well.
On an in-studio appearance on “The MMA Hour” with host Ariel Helwani on Monday, Bellator MMA President Scott Coker announced that Bellator 180 would feature a featherweight fight between undefeated prospect James Gallagher and Chinzo Machida, the older brother of former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida.
Bellator takes to MSG in New York City on June 24 for Bellator 180, the second pay-per-view card in the promotion's history and first in Coker's tenure, headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen.
