Leah McCourt returns to the cage at Bellator London

Leah McCourt’s next fight will be on 16 May at Bellator London.

The Co Down featherweight takes on Janay Harding at the SSE Arena, Wembley.

McCourt made history in Dublin last month as she became the first female fighter to headline a Bellator show in Europe.

She beat Judith Ruis by unanimous decision to improve her professional MMA record to 4-1.

The Bellator London card is headlined by Strabane fighter James Gallagher’s rescheduled fight with Cal Ellanor.

Gallagher previously had to withdraw from the bantamweight contest due to a back injury, which led to McCourt’s fight becoming the Dublin headliner.
