Bellator MMA returned on Saturday (June 22) with a loaded Champions Series card that took place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

Bellator Champions Series Dublin Preview: Jackson vs. Kuramagomedov

The main event was a welterweight title bout between defending champion Jason Jackson and unbeaten challenger Ramazan Kuramagomedov. Only three bouts into his Bellator career, Kuramagomedov ended Jackson’s impressive eight-fight win streak when he earned a unanimous decision and claimed the promotion's welterweight title.

The night’s co-main event saw Paul Hughes make his highly-anticipated debut against Bobby King, who already had six Bellator appearances under his belt. A former Cage Warriors featherweight champion, Hughes made a huge statement after signing with the PFL earlier this year when he stopped King with ground and pound late in the second frame.

Other standout results included Arlene Blencowe's submission-win over Sinead Kavanagh and Dalton Rosta handing Norbert Novenyi Jr. the first loss of his career. The card also kicked off with a run of three-straight submissions in the first round and saw a number of Irish fighters score big victories and draw the approval of the Dublin crowd in the process.
