In the main event, Bellator MMA veteran Jordan Dowdy returns to the Shamrock FC cage to take on short-notice replacement Josh Weston. Earlier this week, Weston replaced former V3Fights title contender Ben Brewer.

A winner of three out of his last four bouts, Dowdy last competed at Bellator 197 in April. It took a mere 29 seconds for the 32-year-old welterweight to choke out opponent Jeff Crotty. The submission marked Dowdy’s first Bellator win in three attempts with the promotion.

Now he faces a gritty follow-up test in the form of 13-fight veteran Josh Weston. A professional since 2012, Weston has proved to be a tough outing for any opponent placed in his path. Coming off back-to-back losses, the 37-year-old will try to reinvent himself against Dowdy.

In the co-main event, highlighted prospects Isaac Purnell and Cort Wahle collide in an exciting 155-pound affair.

Undefeated in both his professional and amateur career, Purnell has won all six of his mixed martial arts bouts. The 28-year-old lightweight made his pro debut in March, submitting Brandon Schehl via guillotine at 4:30 of the first round.

His opponent, Bellator MMA veteran Wahle has not gone to the judges’ scorecards since his pro debut in January of 2016. A submission specialist, Wahle has won three out of his last four outings.

Arguably the most highly touted prospect on the entire card fights outside of the main and co-main event. Hard Knocks 365’s Evan Elder looks to continue his hot streak against his fellow Missourian Derek Clardy.

A training partner of Kamaru Usman and Nate Diaz, Elder is getting some of the best training and coaching available on a day-in, day-out basis. A winner of six-out-of-seven, Elder turned professional in September, defeating Antonio Atkins by first-round TKO.

His opponent, Derek Clardy, will look to stop the hype train in its tracks in his Shamrock FC debut.
