Ricky Bandejas vs. Frans Mlambo added to Bellator Europe 7 in Dublin

Frans Mlambo will try and avenge a teammate’s loss at Bellator Europe 7.

Mlambo takes on Ricky Bandejas on Feb. 22 in Dublin. Bellator officials confirmed the bantamweight fight booking after an initial report from MMA Fighting.

A training partner of James Gallagher at SBG Ireland, Mlambo (8-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) will look for his fourth consecutive win when he attempts to avenge Gallagher’s loss to Bandejas(12-3 MMA, 2-2 BMMA).

In his promotional debut, Bandejas upset Gallagher by knocking him out in the first round at Bellator 204 in 2018. It was Gallagher’s first defeat.

Bandejas would go on to lose his next two in a row to Juan Archuleta and Patchy Mix, before snapping his two-fight losing skid with a first-round submission over Ahmet Kayretli at Bellator 225.
