Tyrell Fortune has a new opponent for Bellator’s 2021 debut.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed with MMA Fighting that Matt Mitrione will no longer compete at Bellator 255 this Friday for undisclosed reasons. With Mitrione’s exit, Fortune now faces Jack May in a rematch from September’s Bellator 245 event. MMA Junkie was first to report the news.
In the first meeting between Fortune and May last September, the bout ended in a no contest after May took an accidental low blow and was unable to continue.
