The second of Bellator’s back-to-back events this week sees the promotion return to Dublin for a card loaded with European talent.

Bellator 240 and Bellator Europe 7 take place Saturday at 3Arena in Dublin. The Bellator Europe 7 card streams on MMA Junkie. The Bellator 240 portion airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN via tape delay.

(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)

In the Bellator Europe 7 main event, [autotag]Leah McCourt[/autotag] (3-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) takes on [autotag]Judith Ruis[/autotag] (6-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a women’s featherweight fight. McCourt, from nearby Northern Ireland, is one of five unanimous picks from our 14 MMA Junkie editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers. She’s got a 14-0 shutout.

In the co-main event at Bellator Europe 7, Dublin-based [autotag]Charlie Ward[/autotag] (7-4 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) is a unanimous pick against [autotag]Kyle Kurtz[/autotag] (10-7 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) in their middleweight bout.

And former reality TV star [autotag]Aaron Chalmers[/autotag] (5-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) is a 14-0 pick from our staff members against [autotag]Austin Clem[/autotag] (3-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in their welterweight bout.

On the Bellator 240 portion of the card, former lightweight champ [autotag]Brent Primus[/autotag] (9-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) is a 14-0 pick against [autotag]Chris Bungard[/autotag] (15-5 MMA, 2-1 BMMA). And Kiefer Crosbie (7-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) is our fifth unanimous pick in his 160-pound contract weight bout against Iamik Furtado (6-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

[autotag]Ricky Bandejas[/autotag] (12-3 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) nearly made it a sixth unanimous nod in his bantamweight bout against [autotag]Frans Mlambo[/autotag] (8-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), but had to settle for 13-1 in the picks.

Our only truly contentious fights in the picks come in the way of [autotag]Bec Rawlings[/autotag] (7-9 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) in her women’s flyweight bout against [autotag]Elina Kallionidou[/autotag] (7-3 MMA, 0-3 BMMA). Rawlings, looking to snap a five-fight skid, has a 9-5 edge in the picks.

And to open the Bellator 240 portion of the event, [autotag]Oliver Enkamp[/autotag] (8-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) also has a 9-5 picks lead in his welterweight fight against [autotag]Lewis Long[/autotag] (17-5 MMA, 1-0 BMMA).

In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, McCourt (93 percent), Ward (82 percent), Chalmers (78 percent), Primus (92 percent), Crosbie (70 percent), Rawlings (63 percent), Bandejas (77 percent) and Enkamp (53 percent) are the choices.
