  4. History on the cards in Dublin

    Bellator cageBellator MMA

    It's over a month since we've had any Bellator action but, fingers crossed, the wait will be well worth it.

    Birmingham's Fabian Edwards gets his first shot at a world title when he faces middleweight champion Johnny Eblen in tonight's main event at 3Arena in Dublin.

    Should Edwards get the win, he will follow in the footsteps of older brother Leon, who holds the UFC welterweight title, and they will be the first siblings to hold world titles simultaneously in separate major MMA promotions.

    Eblen, making the second defence of his belt, is yet to taste defeat in 13 fights and he won't be relinquishing his grip on it without a fight.

    Let's do this!
