Darragh Kelly set for February cage return
Bellator are back in Dublin in February - and Moville's Darragh Kelly will be in on the act
Darragh Kelly is poised for a February return to the cage as Bellator gets set for another Dublin show.
The Moville man will line up for the third time as a pro at Bellator 291 at the 3Arena on February 25.
Kelly, who is 2-0 in the pro ranks, will meet Frenchman Dorval Jordan (2-2) in a featherweight showdown.
In September, Kelly defeated Kye Stevens and vowed immediately afterwards: “I’ll be back better than ever. Letterkenny duo Kyle Browne-McGuigan and Charlie Moore team up for Dundalk win I’ll be here to put on a show.
“When things get tough, I will bite down and come back.”
After three rounds, Kelly – who carries a huge support - won on cards of 30-27, 30-26, 30-26.
Kelly is trained by John Kavanagh, who coaches UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
Jordan defeated Kostas Bozidis in June following a March defeat by Parwaiz Arabzai.
