ЛОС АНЏЕЛЕС – A previously announced BELLATOR MMA Light Heavyweight World Championship bout between Вадим Nemkov (14-2) и Ентони "тркалаат" Џонсон has been cancelled following the news that “Rumble” has been forced to withdraw from the bout due to an undisclosed illness.
Како резултат, official BELLATOR Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix alternate Julius Anglickas (10-1) has been called upon to fill-in for Johnson in the semifinal bout and will now challenge defending champion Nemkov on Saturday, Октомври. 16 во главниот настан на BELLATOR 268: Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Semifinals at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
After earning the distinction of alternate in BELLATOR MMA’s Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix following a victory over Gregory Milliard at BELLATOR 257, the 30-year-old Lithuanian will now have the golden opportunity to showcase his skills on MMA’s biggest stage, win BELLATOR gold and move to the grand prix finals. Anglickas’ original opponent No. 10 ranked light heavyweight Карл Albrektsson (12-3) will now meet Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov (18-6-1) during the preliminary card. Исто така,, a bantamweight tilt between undefeated Jaylon Bates (3-0) и Raphael Montini de Lima (6-4, 1 Соединетите Американски Држави) is official, along with a welterweight bout pitting Mukhamed Berkhamov (14-0) наспроти Aleалеил Вилис (15-2).
