Bellator Champions Series 3: Jackson vs. Kuramagomedov (also known as Bellator Champions Series Dublin) was a mixed martial arts event produced by Bellator MMA, that took place on June 22, 2024, at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.[1][2]

Background

The event marked the promotion's 11th visit to Dublin and first since Bellator 299 in September 2023.[3]

A Bellator Welterweight World Championship bout between current champion (also former LFA Welterweight Champion) Jason Jackson and Ramazan Kuramagomedov headlined the event.[4]

A bantamweight bout between Brian Moore and Francesco Nuzzi was scheduled for this event. However, Moore was forced to withdraw due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by 2016 Olympic silver medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling Shinobu Ota.[5] The week of the event, Nuzzi pulled out due to injury and was replaced by Roger Blanque.

A women's featherweight bout between Olena Kolesnyk and Sara Collins was cancelled when Kolesnyk withdrew due to injury.[6]
