Bellator 270 Gets Peter Queally-Patricky Freire Rematch for Co-Main Event

Peter Queally will square off against Patricky Freire in a lightweight rematch at Bellator 270.

The promotion announced the booking on Monday while also confirming a previously reported bantamweight headliner pitting James Gallagher against Patrick Mix. Bellator 270 takes place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland on Nov. 5. The main card airs on Showtime in the United States at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, while prelims stream on the Bellator MMA YouTube channel, the Showtime Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT.

Queally and Freire initially fought at Bellator 258 on May 7. Queally opened a cut on his opponent’s head with a slashing elbow from the bottom position, which prompted the cageside physician to wave off the bout prior to Round 3. Anchored at SBG Ireland, the 32-year-old Queally has been victorious in three of his last four professional outings.

Freire has now lost two straight fights including a decision defeat to Tofiq Musayev in the finals of the Rizin lightweight grand prix in December 2019. Before that skid, the 35-year-old Brazilian had won seven consecutive bouts, with victories over the likes of Tatsuya Kawajiri, Roger Huerta, Benson Henderson and Josh Thomson.
