Adam Borics faces promotional newcomer Manuel Gaxhja in new Bellator 196 co-main event

After a series of late changes, Bellator 196’s fight card has been set.

Undefeated featherweight prospect Adam Borics will face promotional newcomer Manuel Gaxhja on April 6 in Budapest, Hungary in new co-main event of Bellator 196, promotion officials confirmed Tuesday.

Borics was initially slated to fight James Gallagher in the card’s headlining attraction, however plans changed after Gallagher withdrew due to a hand injury. A lightweight scrap between Benson Henderson and Roger Huerta instead headlines the event, as announced Monday on The MMA Hour.
