Bellator 285: Henderson vs. Queally was a mixed martial arts event produced by Bellator MMA, that took place on 23 September 2022 at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

Background

The event marked the promotion's eighth visit to Dublin and first since Bellator 275 in February 2022.

A lightweight bout between former WEC and UFC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson and Peter Queally headlined the event.

After initially being booked for May 6, 2022 at Bellator 280 and being scrapped due to a hand injury to Manhoef, Yoel Romero and Melvin Manhoef was rescheduled for this event.

A bantamweight bout between Brett Johns and James Gallagher was scheduled for this event. However in August, it was announced that Gallagher pulled out of the bout for unknown reasons. Jordan Winski was picked as a replacement for Gallagher.
