Background

Bellator returned to Dublin for the second time in 2022, featuring Irish fighter Peter Queally in the main event against former WEC and UFC Lightweight Champions Benson Henderson.[1][5]

After initially being booked for May 6, 2022 at Bellator 280 and being scrapped due to a hand injury to Manhoef,[6] Yoel Romero and Melvin Manhoef was rescheduled for this event.[7]

A bantamweight bout between Brett Johns and James Gallagher was scheduled for this event.[8] However in August, it was announced that Gallagher pulled out of the bout due to unknown reasons.[9] Jordan Winski was picked as a replacement for Gallagher.[10]
