Doug Marshall has been pulled from the Bellator middleweight tournament after the Nevada State Athletic Commission did not grant him a license recently and Dan Cramer will now meet Jeremy Kimball in one of the tournament semifinal bouts. 
Bellator officials announced the change on Wednesday and Cramer-Kimball will be one of the four fights on the Bellator 115 main card.
Bellator 115 will come from the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada on April 4th and will be headlined by Vitaly Minakov making his first Bellator heavyweight title defense as he is challenged by season nine tournament winner Cheick Kongo.
Kimball (10-4) was a quarterfinalist in the season nine tournament and was eliminated by Perry Filkins. He was defeated by submission in the third round and all of his defeats have come by submission. Prior to the defeat, he had won six fights in a row and five of those wins came by either knockout or submission.
Cramer (10-4) will also be entering his second Bellator middleweight tournament as he was a semifinalist in the season eight tournament. In that tournament, he was defeated by Brett Cooper in the third round by TKO and this will be his first fight since that defeat.
