倫敦 — (七月 5, 2016) – An injury to 林頓瓦塞爾 (16-5, 1 NC) has derailed “The Swarm’s” summer plans of competing in front of his fellow Englishmen against 弗朗西斯Carmont (24-11) during the main card of “Bellator 158: 倫敦,” 這將發生在七月 16 inside one of the world’s most popular venues, The O2 in London, 英國. 代替, Carmont will now fight Lukasz Klinger (7-2) at 205-pounds.
One of the card’s featured preliminary fights has also changed, with the news that the always-exciting James Mulheron (8-1) will now enter the cage to fight London native Neil Grove(12-7).

Hailing from Paris, 法國, the 34-year-old Carmont will be making his first appearance of 2016 and fourth under the Bellator MMA umbrella. Carmont had strung together a couple wins before his most recent appearance at “Bellator MMA: 炸藥1“。 After winning his first bout of the evening, Carmont replaced an injured 穆罕默德“王莫”拉瓦爾 on just a few minutes’ notice, to face a formidable 菲爾·戴維斯 in the tournament final, where he was defeated. 現在, “Limitless” looks to upset Klinger during the main card of “Bellator 158: London.”
A native of Przemysl, 波蘭, Klinger has been competing professionally since 2013 and taken fights almost exclusively in the United Kingdom. The 32-year-old went nearly three years without suffering his first loss as a pro, amassing finishes in all seven of his victories. “Hitman” has laced up the gloves once already in 2016, and now looks to impress in his Bellator MMA debut when he faces Carmont on 七月 16 at The O2 in London.
