DUBLIN – Pedro Carvalho is confident that beating Jeremy Kennedy will earn him a featherweight title shot. Carvalho (13-6 MMA, 6-3 BMMA) meets Kennedy (18-3 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) in Saturday’s Bellator 291 co-main event at 3Arena. The main card airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie. Currently ranked No. 3 in Bellator’s featherweight rankings, the SBG Ireland fighter hopes to get another opportunity at the belt, which is still held by reigning champion Patricio Freire, who knocked him out in their title fight in November 2020. “Go out there, show that I’m the real No. 1,” Carvalho told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Bellator 291 media day on Thursday. “Show that I’m soon to be the champion and make a statement, leave no doubts. That’s it.” He continued, “This is the No. 1 contender fight. I know that after I beat Jeremy Kennedy, I’ll be fighting for the belt.” More Bellator!
