Talita Nogueira has been forced to withdraw from next week’s Bellator 134 with an injury and Julia Budd will now meet Gabrielle Holloway.
Bellator officials announced the fight change on Tuesday.
Bellator 133 will come from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California next Friday night and will be headlined by Alexander Shlemenko meeting Melvin Manhoef in a middleweight bout.
Holloway (4-1) is coming off a TKO win two weeks ago as she defeated Lacie Jackson. Two of her three wins have come by stoppage and her only defeat came in 2013 by decision. Budd (6-2) has won four in a row and this will be her Bellator debut. Her last win came at the end of 2013 against Charmaine Tweet and she has four career victories by stoppage.
