Bellator Announce 10 More European Signings Including Galore Bafondo, Karl Moore and Dominique Wooding

By Dan McConnell

Bellator continue their surge to sign talent throughout the UK, Ireland and European mixed martial arts scene by signing 10 more fighters to their roster. This now takes their tally up to 34 signing in the past month.

Bellator have noticed a gap in the market in terms of coverage for a UK and Ireland audience, signing talent from the rosters which surely indicated the promotion is dedicated to growing this market as well as on a European level. The 10 fighters come from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland as well as two women from Sweden and Holland.

Notable signed fighters include former UFC Welterweight fighter Galore Bafondo (5-3) who defeated Conor McGregor’s team-mate Charlie Ward before being defeated by Chad Laprise to end his UFC run with just two fights.

Also former Cage Warriors Light-Heavyweight Champion Karl Moore (8-2) has made the move after losing to Cage Warriors Heavyweight Champion Mauro Cerilli in a huge super-fight. The Fight Academy Ireland product poses an impressive record, with his only two defeats coming against UFC Light-Heavyweight Paul ‘Bearjew’ Craig and the second to Cerilli.

Also signed to the Bellator ranks is former BAMMA and ACB fighter Dominique Wooding (5-2) and BAMMA, Cage Warriors and Venator FC veteran Ashleigh Grimshaw (20-10-1) adding to the huge UK and Irish contingent.
