Ryan Couture has received a new opponent for Bellator 124, shortly before he’s set to weigh in for Friday’s card, as Tom Bagnasco is replacing John Shulz.

According to a press release sent out from the organization, Shulz has been forced to withdraw due to health issues.

Bagnasco (3-2) will be looking to rebound from a TKO loss he suffered at Triple X Cagefighting event in June, which ended a three fight win streak.

Couture (8-3), meanwhile, has won two straight since he was decisioned by Al Iaquinta at UFC 164 last year.
