The loaded Bellator 258 main card has taken a hit.
Bellator officials confirmed to MMA Fighting on Friday that James Gallagher has been forced out of his scheduled bout with Patchy Mix at the May 7 event for undisclosed reasons. The promotion is actively looking for an opponent to face Mix on the card, which will take place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. MMA Junkie first reported Gallagher’s scratch.
Mix hinted at the scratch on a Facebook post Friday afternoon.
“As expected, the boy went f*cking running,” Mix posted.
