Undefeated prospects James Gallagher and Adam Borics set for Bellator 196 main event

Brett Okamoto of ESPN revealed this evening that undefeated Irishman James Gallagher (7-0) will face Adam Borics (10-0) in the main event of Bellator 196 in a featherweight contest.

Borics made his Bellator debut in his last outing at Bellator 177 in April 2017 and finished Anthony Taylor with a first round choke.

Gallagher impressively defeated Chinzo Machida last time out by rear naked choke at Bellator NYC in June 2017 and also holds submission via choke over common opponent Anthony Taylor.

Bellator 196 takes place in Budapest, Hungary on 6th April 2018.
