Donegal’s undefeated No. 7 ranked Darragh “The Moville Mauler” Kelly (9-0) steps up to the biggest opportunity of his career as he headlines PFL Belfast opposite the dangerous New Zealander, No. 8 ranked Jay Jay “The Maori Kid” Wilson (11-2) in a three-round lightweight match-up.
Kelly’s overpowering style of MMA has allowed him to stay undefeated in all nine of his professional bouts, stopping seven of those opponents before the final bell. A powerful lightweight, the Moville local fights with a heavy forward pressure, looking to throw big and dominate the grappling exchanges. Answering the call to switch opponents on three weeks’ notice, Kelly is looking to build momentum with a win and hunt down the PFL lightweight world championship.
Wilson has never been stopped in his 13 professional bouts. With serious power in his hands, and the ability to end a fight on the ground, he has four finishes via KO/TKO and four finishes via submission. With only two losses on his record to elite fighters including undefeated No. 2 ranked Gadzhi Rabadanov and No. 3 ranked Archie Colgan, “The Maori Kid” always comes to fight with the aim of separating his opponent from his consciousness.
