Tounkara takes Clarke down and tries to lock in a rear-naked choke but Clarke does brilliantly to deny the Frenchman.

Tounkara is like an anaconda wrapped around Clarke as he continues to look for a submission, before Clark escapes to gain position on the ground himself!

The round ends with Clarke on top after landing a couple elbows.

Conor McGregor has cut an animated figure at cageside so far. With so many of his team-mates in action, he's been screaming instructions for the likes of Daniele Scatizzi and Danni McCormack.

McCormack was stopped badly by Stephanie Page in her fight and you can see how much it hurt McGregor to see a team-mate hurt.

Ciaran Clarke goes for a takedown early in the round but it's defended well by Abou Tounkara as he backs up against the cage.

Clark continues to work for the takedown, going for a single leg, but Tounkara does well to roll through and the fighters are back to their feet.

Excitement is building for McCourt v Kavanagh.

UFC flyweight Molly McCann is here tonight to back McCourt as she believes the Belfast fighter will pull off the win.

Ciaran Clarke is considered a rising star in the Irish scene and thrilled the crowd in his last Bellator appearance in Dublin.

He pulled off a last-ditch submission that time and Peter Queally's withdrawal from the card earlier this week means the 26-year-old got bumped up to the main card.

Time to impress!

A dominant display from the Russian who controlled much of the fight on the ground and never looked in any real danger.

Next up is Ireland's Ciaran Clarke against French fighter Abou Tounkara.

It's a similar story in round three with Magomedsharipov dominating the action on the ground.

The 21-year-old is in side control landing intermittent knees and punches to Sanchez, and it's looking like he will extend his unbeaten record in MMA to 7-0.

It was an entertaining clash between Brian Moore and Jornel Lugo and the Irishman will be disappointed not to have got the nod.

One judge scored it 30-27 to Lugo, which seems a bit harsh. You can judge for yourself!

Khasan Magomedsharipov, like many of his Dagestan counterparts in MMA, is using his wrestling to control the fight against Spain's Jose Sanchez.

Sanchez is going to need a finish in the third round if he wants to take this.

You've already had a taste of the Irish crowd with Brian Moore's entrance, but expect chaos when Sinead Kavanagh and Leah McCourt emerge.

Moore might not have been able to get it done tonight, but there have been some wild moments down the years at Bellator Dublin.

It was a very stop and start contest but I thought Lugo won.

Leah McCourt is the subject of our latest Born to Brawl series and it is a fascinating watch.

The Belfast native has become one of Bellator's biggest stars in Europe having been through more than her fair share of trials and tribulations in life.

“Me and my sisters grew up in a council house in Belfast. I was always going to be a fighter," McCourt explains.

“I had Isabella when I was 18 and was a single parent. How hard that was, with three jobs and training, kind of paved the way for myself.”

The episode is packed with memorable moments, but personally when McCourt's mother said she could still "judo throw anyone here" was the highlight.

All three judges have given it to Jornel Lugo, who takes the unanimous decision victory - 30-27, 29-28, 29-28.

Moore looked the busier of the fighters as he continued to press forward, but it was Lugo's evasiveness and counter-striking which proved decisive.

A Jornel high kick seems to stun Moore at the start of the third round but he's instantly back to his feet.

Conor McGregor is on his feet telling his Irish counterpart Moore to work his jab.

"Yes, yes, yes, you've got this," he yells as Moore lands some shots of his own.

It's Moore who is the aggressor at the start of the second round with the Irishman pushing forward, however Lugo counters well with a strong left.

There's a pause just after midway through the second round when it looks like a finger catches Moore in the eye.

The doctor comes in to check Moore's vision and we're ready to go again.

Here's the finish from Brett John's big win earlier tonight.

Moore produces the first big moment of the fight so far as a heavy blow knocks his American opponent Lugo down.

The 26-year-old recovers well however, and following some jostling for position on the cage, the fighters separate and head back to the centre.

The loudest cheer of the night so far is for Brian Moore, as the ring announcer introduces the 34-year-old.

And we're under way!

Here comes Ireland's Brian Moore to an incredible reception.

He's walking out to the Fields of Athenry, a walkout song he told me this week that he chose three years ago.

He's been waiting for this moment, as injuries and cancellations have prevented him from competing at the Bellator Dublin events since.

Kicking off the main card now is Ireland's Brian Moore as he takes on Jornel Lugo in his first fight since defeat to Nikita Mikhailov in Russia last year.

Moore's time in Russia was a harrowing experience, as away from the comfort of his family and friends back home in Ireland, issues bubbled in his mental health that had been simmering below the surface for around 18 years.

At one point the 34-year-old went over 50 hours with no sleep.

The defeat proved to be a turning point for Moore as he sought therapy afterwards, which has helped him be the most "relaxed, happiest and focussed" he has ever been ahead of fighting Lugo.
