[autotag]Leah McCourt[/autotag] is set to compete in the first fight of her new exclusive six-fight deal with Bellator.
The promotion announced Tuesday that McCourt (3-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) takes on [autotag]Judith Ruis[/autotag] (6-4 MMA) on the main card of Bellator Europe 7 on Feb. 22 in Dublin.
In her last outing, McCourt took out Kerry Hughes at Bellator 227, submitting her in the first round. She was hoping for a quick turnaround in November in London, but instead will compete in her third fight in a year in Dublin’s 3Arena, when she takes on Germany’s Ruis.
Ruis will be making her promotional debut and is coming off back-to-back first-round submission wins.
