Bellator was forced to change plans for its upcoming show in Italy.
Originally matched up against Italian light heavyweight Pietro Cappelli in Florence on Dec. 10, Philipe Lins will now take on fellow Brazilian Kleber Silva. Bellator officials confirmed the change to MMA Fighting on Wednesday.
Lins (10-1), a former Bellator tournament semifinalist, returned from a long layoff in July with a second-round knockout over Guilherme Viana at Bellator 159. Prior to this victory, Lins suffered the only defeat of his professional career against Kelly Anundson, due to an injury.
