Paul Redmond will make his return to the Bellator cage on Feb. 23 on the undercard of the recently announced Bellator 217 card in Dublin, Ireland when he takes on England’s Charlie Leary at 3 Arena.
Bellator confirmed the lightweight fight to MMA Fighting on Wednesday.
Redmond (14-7-0) recently had a three-fight win streak snapped by a knockout loss to Polish prospect Gracjan Szadzinski. In his last outing prior to that, he claimed a win in his Bellator debut against Sergio de Jesus Santos. The Team Ryano submission specialist holds wins over noted European fighters such as Lewis Long, Philip Mulpeter and former BAMMA champion Rob Sinclair.
