Ciarán Clarke vs Keir Harvie set for Bellator Dublin

Undefeated SBG Ireland prospect Ciarán Clarke (6-0) is set to return to the Bellator cage on Friday 24th February against Scotland’s Keir Harvie (5-2-1). Multiple sources confirmed the matchup with SevereMMA.com.

Drogheda man Clarke has built an impressive CV under the Bellator promotional banner, notching six consecutive victories (four via stoppage) since turning professional in 2019.

A fan favourite, the Yellowbatter native routinely commands an army of travelling support each time he competes inside Dublin’s 3Arena. Clarke’s fights are notoriously high-drama events, with the SBG man having to overcome perilous adversity before his hand can be raised in victory. Most recently, Clarke suffered an early knockdown against Rafael Hudson, but once again rallied to score a third-round submission over the Brazilian at Bellator 285.

More recently, Harvie has been fighting in South Africa under the EFC promotional banner, going 1-1-1. Harvie’s last fight ended in a draw against South African fighter Vince Bembe.
