Peter Queally(born February 19, 1989) is an Irish mixed martial artist currently fighting for Bellator in the Lightweight division. As of June 15, 2021, he is #4 in the Bellator Lightweight Rankings.[1]
Background[edit]
Born in Dungarven, Co. Waterford[2] he is currently fighting out of Dublin, Ireland, he is a member of SBG Ireland with head coach John Kavanagh with notable teammates such as Conor McGregor, Artem Lobov & Gunnar Nelson. He is the owner/coach of SBG in Naas, Co. Kildare.[3][4]
Mixed martial arts career[edit]
Early career[edit]
Queally held an amateur record of 4–1 since the beginning of his Mixed Martial Artist career in 2010. Queally has also competed for such Mixed Martial Arts promotions; Fight Night Global, Cage Legacy, BAMMA, Venator Fighting Championship, XCage, Extreme Fighting Championship, Cage Warriors, Cage Condender & Olympian MMA Championships. Queally made his professional MMA debut in European based promotion Cage Contenders in 2012 and won via unanimous decision against opponent Kieran O'Donnell.
Then, in 2017 came a series of bouts under the Fight Nights Global banner which saw him compete in Russia and Kazakhstan. In his first bout, Queally faced Igor Egorov at Fight Nights Global 64 on April 27, 2017. He won the bout via unanimous decision.[5]
After losing a close majority decision to Islam Begidov at Fight Nights Global 72, Queally faced Kuat Khamitov at Fight Nights Global 80. After the bout was originally ruled a majority decision win for Kuat, the bout was overturned to a draw by the Russian MMA Union after they decided that Khamitov did no damage with the takedowns and rarely looked like he was in control of Queally at any point. Arguably, Queally did more damage in his defensive positions than Khamitov did looking to secure the Irishman on his back.[6][7]
His stint in Fight Nights Global culminated in a sensational first-round finish of the then 24-3 Armenian standout David Khachatryan at Fight Nights Global 87: Khachatryan vs. Queally.[8]
Bellator MMA[edit]
Queally signed with renowned American mixed martial arts promotion Bellator in 2018[9] and lost his Bellator debut against fellow Irish fighter Myles Price at Bellator 217 - Gallagher vs Graham on February 23rd 2019 at the 3Arena Dublin, Ireland[10]. The fight was labeled as the "biggest fight in Irish MMA history" by fellow coach John Kavanagh due to the pair of fighters having previously trained under Straight Blast Gyms which Myles Price leaving to American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, California to help current UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagmedov spar[11] in Khabib's scheduled fight against Irish fighter Conor McGregor at UFC 229 on 7 October 2018. The fight ended with a split decision victory for Myles Price.[12]
Queally face Ryan Scope on September 27, 2019 at Bellator 227. Making a come back, Queally defeated Scope via TKO in the second round.[13]
Queally faced Patricky Pitbull at Bellator 258 on May 7, 2021.[14] After Queally caused a cut on Patricky's forehead from an elbow while was on the bottom, the doctor stopped the fight between rounds after the cutman was unable to stop the bleeding.[15]
Qually is scheduled to rematch against Patricky Pitbull for Bellator 270 on November 5, 2021.[16] On October 6, 2021, Patricky's younger brother and Bellator MMA Lightweight Champion Patrício Pitbull announced he was vacating the title. Patricky Pitbull vs. Peter Queally is now set to be for the vacant Bellator MMA Lightweight Championship.[17]
