Following the injury to Patricky Pitbull, Marcin Held has a new opponent for Saturday’s Bellator 120 as he will meet Nate Jolly in a 158 pound catchweight bout on the televised prelims on Spike TV.
The fight booking was announced by Bellator officials on Tuesday.
Bellator 120 will come from the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi on Saturday night and will be headlined by Quinton “Rampage” Jackson meeting Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal in the season ten light heavyweight tournament final.
Held (18-3) was scheduled to face Pitbull on this fight card in the final of the lightweight tournament. However, Pitbull suffered a hand injury in his last fight and they are now targeted to meet in late July at Bellator 122.
Jolly (13-5) will be making his Bellator debut on Saturday and he was also scheduled to be on this card. He was booked to face Will Brooks, but Brooks was elevated to the co-main event slot to face Michael Chandler for the interim title and that left Jolly without an opponent.
