A Mauler from Moville
The “Moville Mauler” has mauled his competition since making his pro debut in 2022, racking up seven stoppages across his nine victories to date. The 27-year-old from Moville, Ireland, has made all but one of his pro walks to either a Bellator MMA or PFL cage, with a lone stop off at Clan Wars in 2023 to land a second-round brabo choke. Kelly is coming into 2026 with a banner year last year, notching subs of Mike Hamel and Bakhtiyar Abdulloev to establish himself as a threat in his division.
While it has been nothing but green grass and high tides for Kelly, his foe is entering this match on his first losing streak in over a decade. The green-coiffed Mexican made a splash in his 2024 PFL debut by upsetting the highly touted Anthony Romero. Since then, things have not gone his way, with a knockout loss to Dedrick Sanders followed by a defeat on the scorecards last year to Jakub Kaszuba.
