Conor McGregor's teammate reveals timeline for rescheduled scrap with Michael Chandler

Bellator MMA standout and Conor McGregor teammate Peter Queally has offered some insight into when we might see the Irish megastar step back inside the Octagon.

After nearly three years on the shelf, ‘Mystic Mac’ was scheduled to headline UFC 303 on June 29 opposite ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case after McGregor withdrew from the bout due to an undisclosed injury.

Speaking with talkSPORT, Queally confirmed that he has some inside information on McGregor’s injury, though he refused to disclose those details. He did however offer fans a timeline for when we could see McGregor finally throw hands with the former Bellator champ.

“It seems like they will endeavor to make that fight in September time,” Queally said. “Something like that maybe. That’s what I’m hearing. That’s what you can look forward to if they can make it happen.”

Peter queally disappointed by conor McGregor’s sudden withdrawal

Having traveled the world with Conor McGregor and witnessing his rise to superstardom firsthand, Queally was gutted to learn about McGregor’s withdrawal from International Fight Week.

“I’m so disappointed. Obviously, I’m his friend,” Queally added. “You didn’t want to see a guy experiencing anything bad who you are friends or close with. Just as a fan, I was looking forward to going out, enjoying the week in [Las] Vegas, going to the fight, and taking in everything that is a Conor fight. There’s nothing like it on Earth. Anyone who hasn’t been to one, I’d save your pennies, go, and try to experience that. It’s pretty crazy. I’ve been lucky to have been at all of them.

“That’s what I was looking forward to and that’s what I’m most disappointed about. I just wanted to be involved again and experience that another time.”

While Queally has not booked his own return to the cage following a disappointing no-contest against Daniele Miceli at Bellator 299, ‘The Showstopper’ will be on the call this Saturday, June 22, when the Bellator Champions Series returns to 3Arena in Dublin.

Benson Henderson

Former UFC lightweight champion, Benson Henderson continues his purple patch toward the end of his professional career, managing to land a unanimous decision win over Peter Queally in the main event of Bellator 285 in Dublin, Ireland.

A blistering opening start to tonight’s main event as Queally marches Henderson down and lands a couple of early strikes in close.

Grappling at the fence during the opening round, Henderson managed to close the opening frame well in front of a hugely hostile enemy crowd, slashing a cut upon on the head of Queally with a sharp, step-in elbow.

In the early goings of the second round, however, Henderson managed to land an inadvertent groin strike, causing a lengthy stoppage in the action, as Queally gathered himself. For his low strike, Henderson was deducted a point by cage official, Kevin MacDonald. And another one of those slashing step-in elbows lands for Henderson in the setup to more clinch work at the fence in the second frame.

A well-timed double leg in the third from Henderson catches Queally on the entry as he overextends, with the Waterford veteran put to his backside. Some excellent pocket fighting from Henderson as well as Queally makes his way to his feet. The ex-UFC champion lands a knee, and a series of elbows before again shooting a double-leg takedown. Prolonged clinch work and most importantly, damage and output for Henderson land him the third frame.

Henderson lands himself a knockdown in the fourth via another one of those elbows, and momentarily looks for a front choke before wearing on Queally once again. We see a fifth and final round. Queally needs a finish most certainly — even considering the point deduction.

Some more heavy clinch work from Henderson in the fifth frame — as to be expected with the well-rounded, savvy veteran. And that is it, Benson Henderson emerges with a unanimous decision win over Peter Queally.

One-time Bellator lightweight title challenger, Peter Queally tops another Emerald Isle card this week following a prior November homecoming. And with stakes high for the Waterford veteran, Queally hopes to earn a trilogy rubber match against champion, Patricky Pitbull off the back of a massive clash with former UFC star, Benson Henderson at Bellator 285.

Queally, the current #7 ranked Bellator lightweight contender, featured most recently at Bellator 270 back in November in a vacant title rematch with Pitbull, suffering a second round knockout loss to the Brazilian veteran.

The Waterford native, who plys his trade between Straight Blast Gym HQ and the banner’s Naas facility, holds a prior finish over Pitbull, to boot – forcing a second round doctor’s stoppage win of his own after opening a series of cuts on his hairline in May of last year.

Peter Queally welcomes a definitive third fight with Patricky Pitbull

The victory came as Queally’s second in the promotion since his landing under the scrutiny of Scott Coker – after rallying to finish Ryan Scope at the 3Arena after a tumultuous back-and-forth in front of a raucous attendance. 

Speaking with LowKick MMA reporter, Joe Reynolds, Queally maintained he was not overlooking his pivotal clash with former UFC champion, Henderson, however, hopes to settle his rivalry with Pitbull in the future.

“Definitely,” Peter Queally replied when asked if he’s open to a third fight with Pitbull. “You know, I’d like if it was for the belt obviously, but even if it’s not for the belt, I wanna fight Patricky (Pitbull) again. I feel like that’s kinda unfinished – I think it’s one all.”

“I think we need to kinda put a definitive end to that one,” Peter Queally explained. “And see who the better man is there. Hopefully I’ll meet him for the belt, maybe after this fight, or after my next fight.” 

Detailing how he underwent a surgical procedure earlier this year to address a forever niggling shoulder injury, Queally was initially scheduled to feature at Bellator 275 back in February of this year against Manchester veteran, Kane Mousah, however, was ruled from proceedings to injury.

Boasting a 13-6 professional record, Queally, 33, who has competed under the Cage Warriors, BAMMA, Cage Legacy, and Fight Nights Global banners to name a few, entered the Bellator cage off the back of notable victories against Igor Egorov, and David Khachatryan.
