Leah McCourt vs. Dayana Silva added to Bellator 285 lineup in Dublin

A featherweight showdown pitting Leah McCourt against Dayana Silva has been added to the Bellator 285 main card.

Promotion officials announced the booking on Monday. Bellator 285 takes place at 3Arena in Dublin and is headlined by a lightweight clash between Benson Henderson and Peter Queally. The main card airs on Showtime in the United States at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while prelims stream on the Bellator MMA YouTube channel, the Showtime Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT.

McCourt had a six-bout professional winning streak snapped in her last outing, when she dropped a unanimous decision to Sinead Kavanagh at Bellator 275 on Feb. 25. The 29-year-old Northern Ireland native is 4-1 in Bellator and also owns a notable win against UFC flyweight contender Manon Fiorot under the Cage Warrior banner.

A former competitor on the Brazilian version of Dana White’s Contender Series, Silva fell to Julia Budd and Arlene Blencowe in her first two promotional appearances before outpointing Janay Harding in her most recent bout at Bellator 279 on April 23. The 31-year-old Nova Uniao product is 10-7 over the course of her professional tenure.
