| Young prospect James Gallagher faces tough test against Chinzo Machida. |
Bellator continues to heat up it's competition with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, with there New York 180 card, becoming more and more stacked day by day. The latest contest to be added to the so far star studded card, is a 145lbs matchup between Irish youngster James Gallagher and 40 year old Brazilian Chinzo Machida, the older brother to former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida. 20 year old Gallagher, is prodominantly a grappler, but has a big national following which would be sure to bring some valuable numbers to Bellator's premier pay-per-view. The 'Strabanimal' featured against Kirill Medvedovsky back at the end of February, where he picked up another rear-naked choke win, and his fifth submission finish. Unlike Lyoto, Chinzo hasn't featured in as many contests as his younger brother, despite his age, holding a 5-2 professional record, and hasn't touched any significant silverware, in comparison to former champ Lyoto. Despite all of this, Chinzo will no doubt prove to be young Gallagher's biggest test so far in his professional career, and his heavy hands could prove to have a huge impact on this bout.
