The scheduled bout between Randy Costa and Carlos Hernandez at next week’s Bellator 134 has been scratched due to an injury suffered by Costa and replacing the bout on the preliminary card will be a lightweight bout between Michael Mangan and Dean Hancock.
Bellator officials announced the fight changes on Wednesday and in addition, the already scheduled featherweight bout between Matt Bessette and Josh Laberge has been elevated from a dark fight to the online preliminary card on Spike.com.
Bellator 134: The British Invasion will come from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut next Friday night and will be headlined by Emanuel Newton defending the Bellator light heavyweight title against Liam McGeary.
