Irish prospect Paul Hughes is ready to make a splash in the co-main event of Bellator Dublin on June 22 at the 3Arena. Hughes will face off against Bobby King in what promises to be an electrifying lightweight showdown.


Bellator Dublin will be headlined by the welterweight championship bout between Jason Jackson and Ramazan Kuramagomedov, adding to the excitement of this stacked event.


Hughes, with an impressive record of 11-1, has been making waves in the European MMA scene. He previously held the Cage Warriors belt and avenged his only career defeat before entering free agency on a five-fight winning streak.
