SBG's Gallagher (3-0) has been pitted against experience British fighter Mike Cutting (6-5) for his promotional debut at Bellator 158: London set to go down at the O2 in London on July 16.
19-year-old Gallagher, nicknamed "The Strabanimal" has been hailed as one of the ones to watch to emerge from SBG after going 3-0 since turning pro last October.
All three of those victories have come via first-round submission, which isn't surprising considering he's been submitting fully-grown adults in jiu-jitsu tournaments since he was 13 years of age.
