Liam McGeary Injured; Slated Bellator 185 Bout with UFC Veteran Bubba McDaniel Canceled

A week ago, Bellator 185, lost half of its co-main event. Now, the entire fight is up in smoke.

On Oct. 2, Bellator MMA announced that Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal had withdrawn from his scheduled bout with former promotional light heavyweight champion Liam McGeary due to a knee injury. Days later, Lawal was replaced by Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Bubba McDaniel. Now, the bout has been nixed all together as McGeary has now pulled out of the contest due to injury.

MMAJunkie was first to report McGeary’s scrape and the fight’s dissolution.
