Originally headlined by James Gallagher vs. Adam Borics, Bellator 196 in Budapest needed a new headliner after an injury forced Gallagher off the card.
Instead of a new opponent for the hometown favorite Borics, the event has received a new headliner altogether.
It was announced on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that former two-division title-challenger Benson Henderson will face a returning Roger Huerta in an unexpected – but very fun – headliner.
Adam Borics will remain on the card against a yet-to-be-named opponent, just not in the main event as planned.
