Ireland's Peter Queally will face off against number one-ranked Patricky 'Pitbull' Freire in a highly anticipated rematch for the vacant lightweight world championship at Bellator 270 on Friday.

The first meeting between the two ended with Queally, now ranked fourth, winning via second round doctor stoppage because of a cut on the Brazilian's forehead.

Co-headlining is Ireland's number six-ranked James Gallagher, who fights the number two-ranked Patrick 'Patchy' Mix in a bantamweight bout.

What's on?

Patricky's younger brother Patricio, announced he was vacating the Bellator MMA lightweight world title because he did not want to get in the way of his sibling's aspirations.

With Patricky claiming the most knockouts of any fighter in the lightweight division, and Queally's last three victories coming by the way of stoppages, this fight is sure to be an explosive one.

The co-main event is also set to be an enthralling bout, with both Gallagher and his American opponent Mix displaying finishing ability.

Rounding out the main card is German submission artist Daniel Weichel and former title challenger Pedro Carvalho in a featherweight contest.

Also fighting at the top of the undercard is Irish featherweight Ciaran Clarke, who is looking to improve his undefeated streak of three wins against England's Jordan Barton.
