Bellator 275

LowKick MMA will be live on-site to bring you Bellator 275: Mousasi vs. Vanderford results throughout the night (Fri. February 25. 2022) live from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

Headlining the promotion’s return to Dublin for the first time since November: an undisputed middleweight championship bout between reigning champion, Gegard Mousasi, and the undefeated, Austin Vanderford.

Mousasi, a former DREAM, Strikeforce, and Cage Warriors champion, looks to score the second defense of his second reign as middleweight champion against the unbeaten, Vanderford — most recently stopping John Salter with ground strikes in the third round of their Bellator 264 clash back in August.

For Vanderford, the undefeated Dana White‘s Contender Series alum turned in his eleventh consecutive professional victory at Bellator 259, securing a unanimous decision win over Fabian Edwards.

In the night’s co-headliner — a historic high-profile All-Ireland clash between featherweight contenders, Sinead Kavanagh, and Leah McCourt.

Kavanagh, a native of Dublin, looks to grab a hometown win against McCourt — and subsequently rebound to the winner’s enclosure following a December title knockout loss to defending queen, Cris Cyborg.

For McCourt, the Northern Ireland native improved to 6-1 back in October at Bellator London — securing an impressive unanimous decision victory against Jessica Borga.

Cris Cyborg

Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg made her latest title defense against Irish contender Sinead Kavanagh in the main event of Bellator 271. Let’s see how it all played out.

The fight opens up with the two combatants meeting in the center of the cage. It doesn’t take long for Cyborg and Kavanagh to push the pace as both throw blistering fast combinations on the feet. Cyborg goes for the takedown and is stuffed by Kavanagh. Cyborg is landing some heavy knees in the clinch and is finding a home for the right hook.

After forcing Kavanagh to the fence, Cyborg lands a heavy 1-2 combination that puts Kavanagh out instantly. Referee Jason Herzog intervenes and Cyborg leaves south Florida with another win in the Bellator cage.

Cris Cyborg Knocked Out Sinead Kavanagh at Bellator 271

Check out the incredible knockout below.

With the finish over Kavanagh, Cyborg continues her reign as the Bellator featherweight champ and is arguably the most dominant fighter in the promotion. Despite being 36 years old, she looked like the best she’s ever been to this point in her illustrious career.

Before her latest title defense against Kavanagh, Cyborg earned the Bellator title by defeating Julia Budd in her first fight in the promotion. She signed with Bellator after a rocky tenure in the UFC which included strained relations with UFC president Dana White.

After losing her featherweight title in the UFC and earning a win over Felicia Spencer, Cyborg opted to sign with Bellator for a new chapter in her career. Entering Bellator 271, Cyborg defended her belt in dominant performances against Leslie Smith and Arlene Blencowe.

Cyborg has largely cleaned out the featherweight division just as fast as she rose to the Bellator throne. Now, she’ll wait for a contender to rise, which could include the possible signing of PFL champion Kayla Harrison.

Where do you think Cris “Cyborg” Justino ranks among the greatest MMA fighters of all time?
