A pair of main card fights have been scratched from Friday’s Bellator 174 lineup.

The catchweight bout between Kendall Grove (23-16 MMA, 4-3 BMMA) and Mike Rhodes (10-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), as well as the bantamweight contest between Joe Taimanglo (23-7-1 MMA, 6-3 BMMA) and Steve Garcia (7-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA), have been removed from the card after Rhodes and Taimanglo missed weight for their respective contests this morning.

MMAjunkie today confirmed the news with Bellator officials citing an inability for the athletes to agreeable terms for a catchweight. Grove and Garcia will be paid the “show” portion of their fight purses.

As a result of the changes, the lightweight fight between Fernando Gonzalez and Brandon Girtz has been elevated to the co-main event while the Justin Wren (12-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) vs. Roman Pizzolato (9-6 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Rafael Lovato Jr. (4-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Charles Hackmann (4-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) (who replaces an injured Wayman Carter) will air on the Spike-televised main card following prelims streamed on MMAjunkie.

Holy shit. Card just got gutted. Bellator disappoints again.

 

[Daniel4802]

I wouldn't be surprised if Budd controls Coenen on the feet and against the cage to win.

And 5'9" Dufresne vs 5'3" Holloway. Nice.

Good thing you post on the Worldwide section and have access to a calendar of events on the world's most trafficked MMA news web site, right?

I always say I'm gonna skip a shitty Bellator card but I end up watching anyway.. Kinda interested in the Girtz/Gonzalez fight

I was really interested in Gonzales vs Koreshkov first, i didn'tfind Girtz as a really good replacement, but could be fun, so just going to watch Bellator to see this fight + Lovato

 

[Devilboy86]

I like the main event dunno what people have against it. Winner becomes a top 3 WBW behind Cyborg and De Randamie... you could argue second behind Cyborg.

 

[LHWBelt]

Horrid card. I'll record it though and hopefully Wren looks better.

 

[Buff]

Boom!! Bellator cards up top... The Heavies are back!!

War Justin "King of The Pygmies" Wren.

UFC weigh ins = #1 Bullshit
Bellator weigh ins = #2 Bullshit

 

[europe1]

Wow those cancelled bouts man... sometimes MMA is more outlandish than the Twilight Zone.

 

[europe1]

UFC weigh ins = #1 Bullshit
Bellator weigh ins = #2 Bullshit

UFC weights in # 1 bullshit? What the devil could Sir Shonuf mean? I better visit the Heavies and find out!
