Bellator 135 will no longer feature a bantamweight fight between Eduardo Dantas and Mike Richman, as the promotion has announced that the latter is injured. As a result, a scheduled, bantamweight bout between LC Davis and Hideo Tokoro has been moved into the card’s co-main event slot.

No specific details regarding Richman’s injury were provided in the official announcement, however, Bellator has relayed that a fight with Dantas will be rebooked for a later date.

Richman (18-5) is coming off back-to-back, stoppage wins over Ed West and Nam Phan. The former champ Dantas (16-4), meanwhile, hasn’t fought since he was decisioned by champion Joe Warren in October.

Bellator 135 will take place on March 27th at the Winstar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
