Background

Bellator returned to Dublin for the second time in 2022, featuring Irish fighter Peter Queally in the main event against former WEC and UFC Lightweight Champions Benson Henderson.

After initially being booked for May 6, 2022 at Bellator 280 and being scrapped due to a hand injury to Manhoef, Yoel Romero and Melvin Manhoef was rescheduled for this event.
